GIMP Scripts

These are some scripts I have written for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP).

The Scripts

Wide Poster Slice

This Script-Fu (Scheme) script is designed to divide an image with a wide horizontal aspect ratio into multiple tiles of a specific aspect ratio. The most obvious application of this is to make Photography.Panorama images easier to print at large sizes.

Usage

Open an image to slice into small tiles. Run the script from Filters->Script-Fu->Utils. Enter the aspect ratio of the tiles you want to create. Only the width-to-height ratio is important, not the actual units. The actual height of each tile will be the same as the source image. The number of output images created will depend on the relationship between the source and tile aspect ratios. In most cases, there will be overlap between adjacent tiles, which will be distributed evenly; no tile will be narrower than the others or have empty space on either side.
