I want to be able to select part of an image (a JPEG by default but I could convert it) and print a selected (by marquee?) part of the image.
At the moment I can't find any easy way to do this either with Windows programs (I have Adobe Photoshop Elements running in Vmware) or in Linux. It seems such an obvious thing to want to do.
umm ... copy it to a new image, crop it using your favourite image editing tool e.g. GIMP, then print?
I guess that's a way of doing it but it seems rather a long way round to a rather simple requirement. Thanks for the idea though, I'll try it.
There is one problem though, I can't work out how to make Gimp actually peform the crop! :-) I can find crop in the menus, I can move the cropping lines on the image and then - zilch. How do you actually make it crop and/or save the cropped image?
