CHAPTER 10. MENUS
10.9. IMAGE
Reducing your image may be necessary if you intend it to a Web page. You have to take in
account that most Internet users have relatively small screens and that your big image can’t be
completely displayed on them. Many of screens work in 1024x768 or even smaller resolution.
Adding or removing pixels is called ”Resampling”.
X Resolution; Y Resolution Here you can set the print resolution for the image.
Quality The Interpolation drop down list provides a selection of available methods of interpolating the
color of pixels in a scaled image:
Interpolation Type
• None : no interpolation is used. Pixels are simply enlarged or removed as they are when
zooming. This method is low quality, but very fast.
• Linear : this method is relativelly fast, but still provides fairly good results.
• Cubic : The best, highest quality but also the slowest method available.
10.9.17. Crop Image
”Crop Image” crops the image to the selection bounds, by removing any strips at the edges whose
contents are all completely unselected. Areas that are partially selected (for example, by feathering) are
not cropped away. If no selection exists for the image, the menu entry will be insensitive.
N OTE
This command crops all image layers. To crop the active layer only, use Crop
Layer.
10.9.17.1. Activate Dialog
• This command can be accessed from an image menubar as Image → Crop Image.
10.9.18. Autocrop Image
”Autocrop Image” removes borders from an image. It searches the active layer for the largest possible
border area that all has the same color, and then crops this area from the image, just as though you had
used the Crop tool.
C AUTION
Note carefully that this command only uses the active layer of the image to find
borders. If other layers have color variations extending into the border zone of
the active layer, they will be cropped away.

• This command can be accessed from an image menubar as Image → Autocrop Image.
