Hi, I've got a kind of strange task I need to do, and I was wondering if there was a way to use GIMP to do it more efficiently. Basically, I've got a chart of images and I need to rearrange those images into a different order, only I need to do it many times and I'd like to find a way to streamline the process. As an output for one process, I get a 13x21 chart of images, and I need to select certain images from within that chart and arrange them into a 9x6 chart as an input for another process.
For example, I'd need to take the image in Row 2 Column 6 of Chart A and put it into Row 1 Column 4 of Chart B, and I need to do that for 54 images from Chart A in order to fill Chart B. I can copy/paste individual images from Chart A to Chart B one at a time, but it takes about 15 minutes to transfer the images from Chart A to the arrangement I need in Chart B, and I've got potentially dozens of input/output charts to go through, so I was really hoping there was a way to expedite the process. Is there any sort of template I could apply to Chart A that would allow me to quickly copy the images in the selected spaces over from Chart A to selected spaces in Chart B? Both Chart A and Chart B are just .PNG images, and the Chart A and Chart B formats are identical across all of the pages I need to process.
I know this is kind of an esoteric request, and it's for work so I'll end up doing it manually one image at a time if I need to, but if anyone knows any way to complete this process quickly, I'd really appreciate it.
