![]() Thank you kindly Rich2005 for your thorough reply. Might work and also check out the older versions. XnViewMP - for those of us who like a GUI there is a 64 bit mac version. However there is a collection of scripts for macos/linux - this for resizing You will still need to wrap that up for batch processing. there is extensive documentation but generally you need to write your own scripts. ( Wonderful, refers to Gimp 2.4 and still reads like sanskrit to me but that is what you do.) The usual advice from the experts is use a gimp command wrapped up in batch file. Problem is that forum is swamped by other applications and Gimp questions tend to get lost. There are some on Ask the question there for advice on compiling. Very few macos users visit this forum to give advice. You might be able to compile your own plugin, I found this (There is an ancient plugin DBP but never updated beyond Gimp 2.4) The lisanet versions ended 2017 with a Gimp 2.8 Still available but I have no idea if BIMP is included in all of the versions.Īt the moment BIMP is the only Gimp batch processor plugin for users who do not use scripting languages. I am hoping there is a n easier way!įirst the macos problem. Down in the bottom left corner of your editing workspace, you’ll see a zoom level setting with a bunch of preconfigured zoom levels.Quote: but to be honest can't follow them. Generally, I avoid these buttons since using shortcuts is so much faster. ![]() Last but not least, you can always zoom in or out with the buttons in the user interface. They are listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts window above but don’t have any effect. ![]() In a confusing twist, there are a corresponding set of shortcuts – Shift+ 2, Shift+ 3, and so on – that should zoom out to 50%, 25%, and smaller, but they don’t work for me on Windows or macOS. GIMP has a few quick pre-programmed zoom levels that can easily be reached using the numbers 1-5 on your keyboard or number pad: Using a level like 33% or 182% can cause your pixels to look strange as the screen decides which pixels to keep and which to discard while displaying your image. Two great zoom presets include the ` button (also the ~, beside the number 1, above Tab) which allows you to switch rapidly between your last two zoom levels, and Shift + Ctrl+ Jwhich zooms your image to fit your current image workspace.īecause pixels are square, it usually works best to stick to an even zoom level like 25%, 50%, or 200%. I felt silly the first time I realized why it wasn’t working as expected for me! Zoom Presets If you don’t have a keypad, you can use the + and - keys next to your numbers row, but you’ll have to actually hold Shift while you zoom in or GIMP will read it as an = instead of a + and just sit there like a lump. Zoom in using the + key on your keypad, and zoom out using the - key right beside it. ![]() If you don’t want to use your mouse for zooming at all (or if your mouse wheel is broken or nonexistent), there are a lot of keyboard-only shortcuts for zooming. You can also click your mouse wheel and drag to get accurate positioning while zoomed. If you want to get extra fancy, you can hold down Alt instead of Ctrlto scroll up and down with the mouse wheel or hold down Shift to scroll left to right through your image with the mouse wheel. Spinning up zooms in, and spinning down zooms out! ![]() To zoom in or zoom out in GIMP, hold down the Ctrlkey and spin your mouse wheel. The fastest shortcut is usually the one closest to your hand, so a keyboard and mouse combo shortcut is perfect for GIMP image editing. Zoom In and Out with Your Keyboard and Mouse It seems like there are some duplicate entries, but it’s not immediately clear what the ‘accel’ tag means on these shortcut names. ![]()
