Resize Gambar Dengan Mudah Memakai GIMP





GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) merupakan aplikasi image editing open source yang sangat handal. Sebagai kloning dari Adobe Photoshop, GIMP sama sekali tidak kalah, dan bahkan dalam beberapa aspek jelas-jelas mengungguli Photoshop. Salah satu keunggulan yang paling utama adalah, GIMP itu gratis, dan kedua, GIMP sangatlah ringan, bila dibanding dengan Photoshop yang begitu berat.

Sebagai aplikasi image editing paling terkenal di dunia open source, maka GIMP disertakan secara built-in hampir di sebagian besar distribusi Linux di dunia, baik yang berbasis dekstop KDE, Gnome maupun Xfce. Kali ini saya ingin berbagi trik yang sangat sederhana mengenai bagaimana me-resize gambar dengan GIMP.

Langkah pertama, buka file gambar di dari file manager. Klik kanan dan pilih open with GIMP Image Editor. Setelah terbuka, pilih resize tool, atau memakai tombol kombinasi Shift+T, lalu letakan di tab gambar dan akan muncul kotak dialog. Kita bisa me-resize dengan ukuran piksel, centimeter atau persentase. Agar aspek rasio gambar antara lebar dan panjang tetap proporsional, jangan lupa kaitkan tombol yang berbentuk dua mata rantai terpisah. Setelah di resize, kita tinggal men-cut gambar, lalu men-close jendela gambar yang sudah kosong, lalu mem-paste-nya di jendela aktif GIMP dengan Ctrl+V. Hasil akhirnya adalah akan didapat file mentah RGB, yang tinggal kita simpan. Format default akan disimpan dalam format xcf. Untuk menyimpannya dalam format jpeg, kita tinggal memberi nama file gambar baru kita dengan format “nama_gambar.jpg”. Setalah itu ada opsi export, dan kita selesai.

Sekilas nampak repot, tapi tahukah anda? Bahwa mengedit gambar dengan GIMP mempunyai satu keunggulan yang mungkin tidak kita sadari. Mengedit gambar dengan GIMP akan menghasilkan gambar dengan informasi dan proporsi warna yang lebih baik dan halus.

Selamat mengeksplorasi GIMP! ^_^

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

Based on that successful film, there are some game developers created a spin-off for Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Rio. The good news about this is, there is already a flash version of this game so we could play it in Linux desktop easily using flashplayer (standalone player, or by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin). And just like what I've done before in Angry Animals game, I've packed this game too into Debian package so we could install it with ease. If you have had installed flashplayer standalone, you don't have to download and install it. But, if you haven't it yet, you have to download the flashplayer standalone to play this game. These are the packages : adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb angrybirds-rio_0.1_i386_debian.deb This is a fre...
