Using a grid |

Thank you for your constructive advice.
I have pasted an image into GIMP and now would like to superimpose a TEMPORARY grid of lines
to assist me in positioning shapes over that image.
It isn't clear how to do this.

Screaming Frustration |

Ok, I'm trying to do a simple project, not get
a college degree in how to use GIMP.
I have ZERO knowledge of computers or
software.
After this, I might never use GIMP again.
If this forum allows it, I will upload the image
in question.
What I am making is an image that I will then
pay Office Depot to print out as a poster.
I will then cut it up and construct a game board to give as a gift.
This link below shows what I want the finished game board to look like.
https://boardgamegeek.com/image/20548/troke
So, I began by hunting on google for a nice crisp image of the texture and shade of the background, sort of a woodgrain.
I could not find what I really wanted, and settled on an image of corkboard.
I pasted this into GIMP. The board has got to
be 16 inches by 16 inches total.
I begin by changing the ruler in GIMP to inches, and it shows that my pasted image is too small.
This is where I'm running into trouble.
I have "re scaled" it, but then two things become problems.
Number one, the ruler stays exactly the same.
This is confusing, so please be patient with me. What I mean is that the ruler does not fit the enlarged image. Even though the image is larger, the ruler isn't changing.
Another problem is that now the cork board image I got off Google is so blurry that it looks awful, it is worthless.
After I get the background, I have to understand how to draw the colored rings and circles and lines and dots and the corner decorations. I will probably have to find some clipart for the corners, and have to learn how to insert that clipart.
Kind of desperate here. I have only a month to finish this birthday gift.
I hope you can see my screen shot. The ruler says the image is only a tiny bit more than 4 inches by 4 inches.
The Scale dialog box says that it is 40 inches by 22 and a half inches!
I mean...does it HAVE to be hard, confusing, frustrating, punishing? It can't be intuitive, friendly, easy, nice, useful, pleasant?

Gimp file exported as .jpg no longer compatible with Canva |

I have used GIMP for years and saved my art as jpg's and then succesfully uploaded them to Canva for printing. I got a new laptop and installed the new GIMP and now when i export as a jpg it works, but when i export it to Canva the files say "We are unable to upload this file as it is incompatible with Canva or it has been corrupted".
My old jpg files i saved on the previous computer still work to upload no problem. I have double checked that Gimp is still exporting as an RGB format, and have tried all sorts of other stuff to no avail. The exported files are definately a .jpg but they are no longer recognized in Canva as compatible. I have also updated my browser as well. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? I work with Canva all day long and now can't upload any of my files, I have no idea how to fix this.
I wonder if i should download the older version of GIMP, since it still works on my old laptop but not the new version on my new laptop. What could have changed?
