Well, it all comes with practice. Gimp does not use 'bounding boxes' that is very much a vector thing.

The Brandly page is quite good, lots of useful information. The templates are in Adobe .ai format but Gimp will open as a PDF. Click on show all files otherwise the .ai files are hidden. As in the video you need to set the ppi to 300 otherwise you get the tiny image you posted. This is a common beginner error, going by inch size instead of Gimp pixel size.

This is opening the template. What to look for.



and this is a comparison of the 300 ppi template and your image. Both at 100% in Gimp.



Attached the larger image as a Gimp file. Might give you a starting point. Note the use of guides to mark the crop size. The guides only exist inside Gimp, not part of the final exported image.  Best of luck

Thanks again.  I may not have called it correctly.  The video I watched, from above, showed a box with handles for resizing the image.  My trying to resize the image doesn't show that type of handle.


I must be doing something wrong.
