I am a watercolour artist and I paint various elements to be included in a fabric pattern, the size of the patter is 8inches x 8inches. When I take a photo of each image to put into Gimp they are all 3024 x 4032 or 42 inches x 56 inches. I need to take each image and make it fit onto the 8inch x 8inch tile and then make it repeating.
I have no idea how to do this. When I open a new file and make it 8inch x 8inch the images dont fit on to them.
Also, when I do size down each image, (albeit with huge loss of resolution) I cant work out how to take the cut image (not the one with the box around it) and put it onto the relevant layer.
I am really new to all this, and I use Youtube to see tutorials about how to do this kind of thing but they don't seem to cover this image sizing problem. I think I must be doing something wrong so I just need to know if I am or if there is no way to do it.
I am really just a watercolour artist trying to work out how to do this stuff in Gimp - I'm not a techie or someone who uses photoshop or any other program.
Any help would be really appreciated.
