1) I am using text and computer graphics but the clip art is all png files. InkScape as you said is for vector files.
2) The size of the gimp file in pixels is 5401 x 7200 , the print size is 12" x 16", the resolution is 450 x 450 ppi, the size in memory is 484.7 MG
3) The clip art image is 960 x 960 pixels, the size of the clip art file 177 KB. I guess I should find a large file if I can't get a clear image scaling it or hire a designer to make one that is a better fit with gimp and my file specifications.
4) The Youtube video was the only one that discussed clip art images. Can anyone suggest another site? The Gimp tutorial is very bsic and doers not discuss uploading and working with clip art images.
5) I am not sure what you mean by this. Is that from the YouTube video. Where are you getting that quote from?
6) I downloaded the image and then cut and pasted the file onto my gimp project. I had the same problems. I tried uploading the image directly from my desktop and the image software there. The image was much much larger but that method also had problems. I could not upload it to the gimp file I had already created and it uploaded it to a new gimp file. I could move the clip art around using editing features but could not add text. There has to be an easier way to do this without so much stress.
8) and 9 I will try those features, thank you
10) All of the clip art that I find is ok for use in commercial work. I would never use clip art that had copyright protection.
