Problems with re-sizing images.
#1
Good Day!
 
I am a newbie learner to “” and I am trying to accomplish a series of steps, but things just don’t seem to work out for me.
 
I have 2 problems, well more but I wont go into everything J
 
-         Basically   I am trying to import a picture of varing sizes, and then resize them to fit a specific size.
 
For example,  I am importing an image  that is 5” x 3”,   and wanting to print it on a label, 
So I need to be able to copy it out of GIMP, and past it into a Avery Shipping Label template in Word.
 
I have been a little successful, but I am having issues with the sizes changing.
 
Steps I am completing.
 
1-     Open Image.
2-     Click menu “Image”  and then click Scale image
3-     I assign the Size height as  1.30 inches  (because of the linked reference, width defaults to  2.0 inches ISH  
4-     Resolution seems to imply its  76 x 76
5-     And it seems like it works, though when I COPY and paste into Word and print.  The size is a little off.
 
However, I went on to the next picture, which ultimately was a desktop  image ,  I completed the following
 
1-     Open Image.
2-     Click menu “Image”  and then click Scale image
3-     I assign the Size height as  1.30 inches  (because of the linked reference, width defaults to  2.0 inches ISH  
4-     Resolution seems to imply its  560 x 560  (don’t have the real numbers handy)
5-     Then I copy it , and then Paste into Word.
6-     When I look at the image in my template  the image height should be 1.3, but its about 2.3.  and the width is also messed up.
 
I am confused. If I tell them image to be 1.3  why is it not listening?   I understand there is a setting called Print size somewhere, but I am trying to make the image  Size X, but something else is getting in the way.
 
 
I am hoping someone can give me an answer,  or maybe point me to a Youtube video that goes over it.   I have watched about 6-8 tutorials, but I cant find anything that  goes into that whole aspect of
