How do I set up an guide layout? - AndiGreyScale - 06-08-2020
I apologize for the vague title, I'm just not sure how to phrase what it is I want to do.
I basically need help figuring out how to do something like this-

Not the designs in it, but the layout itself. It's all perfectly aligned and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in GIMP.
Something like this, in photoshop.

Trying to make something like you asked :
Get a photo, I used this :
[attachment=4509]
Then use filters :
QmicQt / Artistic / Fractalise
QmicQt / Artistic / Fingerpaint
Darken using 'Colours / Curves'
QmicQt / Deformations / Random
Change different colors with : Colours / Hue-Saturation
Results :

Truthfully I would set up a suitable grid and move the images manually. Using standard Gimp tools.
If the images are the same size then tool for spacing out is the align tool. Set up a selection based on image size and spread the images out.
Not a difficult calculation but Gimp can do it for you. The arithmetic operators multipy * divide / plus + minus - work in the selection tool options.
Easier if it is an even number of images, but for say 2 rows 3 on top 2 at bottom.
Something like this: https://youtu.be/qEjod0qFxro a long demo for me - nearly 5 minutes.

Mm thank but I didn't find that very user friendly or intuitive. But thank you for trying to help anyways.
I ended up learning how to do it in Photoshop instead. Hopefully in the future GIMP's guide layout won't be such a hassle to use.
