I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
I've just tried an effect that works quite well. I have some some images of spring flowers in our local olive grove. I place a black layer over the photo then used the eraser tool to cut holes in the layer used Gaussian blur and it looks like dappled sunlight under a tree. Thanks for all the videos.
Oh, nice. That was so helpful. I am mostly interested in the print size aspects but you covered the main points of that and after 2 views I mostly get it! I see you made a video for preparing images for printing and I will watch that one next! i expect in addition to segments of another (short hair and no beard) video I saw, I will need be watching quite a few more as I am working with GIMP at home for the first time. Made a bit of progress so far!
I like your videos and I appreciate you corrected yourself regarding the effect of resolution on digitally displayed pictures (it has no effect). Unfortunately there is still a misinformation in the beginning of your video: It's NOT true that "most computer monitors commonly have a resolution of 72 pixels per inch". Afaik, the 72 ppi default origins in 1980s Apple monitors that had this standard. 72 ppi also doesn’t mean that "72 pixels are crammed into a one by one inch square" of course. That would result in extreme pixelation. 72 ppi means that 72*72 = 5184 px are crammed into a 1 by 1 inch square which still isn’t really high resolution but a lot more than you said. The ppi resolution of a monitor depends on its size and display resolution. So if my Laptop has 1920 px horizontal resolution and its display field is 13.6 inches wide, it has an actual horizontal resolution of about 141 ppi (1920 / 13.6). In other words: a 141 ppi image in Gimp would have its actual print size when displayed at 100% on my lapop. 1920 pixels at 72 ppi would mean that my laptop monitor would be 1920 / 72 = 26.7 inches wide! The 72 ppi (sometimes 96 ppi) "default" resolution is utterly useless today because typical monitors have much higher resolutions. With today’s phones it’s even higher: the iPhone 11 has 326 ppi! So please let’s stop spreading the 72 dpi standard myth!
Thank you for these useful videos I am finding Gimp quite frustrating still as I am unfamiliar with all the intricacies of the tools this was another great help
How do I make an image to the 16+20 in Or 12+16 in. So basically using the inch format. And also what is the best file type for a large picture on the wall? Thank you
i am gotten to where I have the correct size but i cant get the resolution i need to print, the website keeps telling me it is low resolution, how can i fix this
Excellent video. Is there a negative of using larger than 300 pix/in to resolution to effectively scale your printing? Does this come down to the limitations of your printer?
It ultimately comes down to the current size of your photo and the final size of the print (and yes, that quality of the printer). I think if you CAN go higher in resolution, do it.
If I have 30MP image for web use that needs to be color corrected, should I correct the color then shrink the size or shrink the size, then do the color correction?
The pixel density for may vary between monitors. For example my monitor has a pixel density of of 81ppi. So should I set my resolution to the monitor or 72ppi?
The advantage of setting the pixel resolution to the resolution of your monitor is that at a zoom level of 100% it would be displayed in its actual print size on your monitor, i.e. a line of 1 inch length in print would be displayed on your monitor with a length of 1 inch. 1 monitor pixel would represent 1 printed pixel more or less exactly at 100% zoom. In most cases you wouldn’t want to print an image in such a small resolution, so I would recommend you to choose the resolution for print, that is usually around 300 dpi.
Hi Davis, Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. I would've loved to know how to compress an image file in Gimp, if and when scaling alone does not enable the target file size
Good info. thanks. as an aside... "begging the question" is a type of logical fallacy and you should say, "raises the question" instead. (sorry, yes, i am one of _those_ people).
@@DaviesMediaDesign absolutely agree with that... that is the reality of the situation. i would only add that at that point it's only where one draws the line of ignorance and arrogance.
Hi. I don't know if someone told you this, or maybe it's only me, but the sound at the beginning of your videos is very unpleasent for my ears, especially with headphones. I thought this might be a valuable feedback for you.
The main objection I have is that the title is about resolution and the author gasses on about pixels in cameras. The author fails to explain the relationship between pixels and resolution right away. Please...get to the point. How does Gimp work with resolution. More precisely, how does one upscale an image using Gimp.
Sorry, its just too much explanation. I appreciate your effort and I get it in theory, but when I go to put it in practice, its a big fail. Can you please provide examples of GIMP settings for a website image, and the opposite, a large print job like a banner? I have spent hours trying every combination of scaling, print size and image size and either get enormous files or tiny files.
After all this, you failed to show an actual print. The point of all this manipulation is to get a print that will be seen by a real human being as either sharp or not sharp.
It's ppi (pixels per inch) not pixels per square inch. Think about it. If it was 72 pixels per square inch, it would be under 9 pixels pixels per linier inch and that would look like shit. And your 18 mp image would print at 250,000 square inches at an aspect ratio of 1: 1 that would be 500X500 inches or over 41 ft by 41 ft. Please don't spew bad information.
Honestly not very helpful. I have an pretty large image image that I want to reduce the size and keep the resolution. Following your directions I end up with a very blurry image in a smaller size. In your video you don't actually run through the steps instead you show us where to go in the settings and then you open up another picture and say "And this is the result" which is pretty frustrating because for all I know you never actually make the change. Side note: In the beginning it sounds like you are trying to sell us a Nikon Camera. I just want to learn about how to use GIMP. I don't care about your camera.
I recently had a remarkable experience. I had changed the ppi, and the resolution was changed in cm. I mean if you change the unit below to cm, and you change the ppi, the numbers of cms on the rulers are changed.
This Christmas, I'm thankful for Davies and his media design

Great video explaining pixels, what resolution should one scan a photo? Thanks

this is a vital video to have done for those who are pixel peepers who just dont get it! well done! :O)

Thank you very much sir you explained it well, likes!
Does anyone know why all my images have a resolution of 71.984 instead of 72?
Who's the gorgeous model?
Is there A benifit to 5334 x 3000 (wide Screen) in photo editing, Thx in Advance
well explained

“In modern vernacular usage, however, begging the question is often used to mean ‘raising the question’ or ‘suggesting the question’.”

Why does Gimp need so much memory to load the image, the on disk size is 13Mb but in GIMP its taking 2.8GB!
Have you tried using the 8 bit display rather than 32 bits?

you dont have to change the number of pixels, you can use compression

You pronounce davies dave-iss, not dayveez. Its from Wales, my country where we pronounce it properlly. Dave - iss.
You remind me of Jared Letto in American Psycho
THATS HUGE
Looks like you are moving to an unused underpass, for your future videos.
After all this, you failed to show an actual print. The point of all this manipulation is to get a print that will be seen by a real human being as either sharp or not sharp.
Am I the first to tell you that your teaching would be far clearer if you talked a bit slower?

You probably are looking for this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/Qk3BP8vzPdY/w-d-xo.html
Useless video...talking and talking, bringing problems and problems and no solutions...SO how increase resolution and keep the size???
I recently had a remarkable experience. I had changed the ppi, and the resolution was changed in cm. I mean if you change the unit below to cm, and you change the ppi, the numbers of cms on the rulers are changed.
