Picture grid on Globe in GIMP - Page 4

Oh i think that's the problem - I'm using a doughnut shape instead of a circle. It is described as a circle thin frame. I think I have to see if I can find circle cookie cutters to add to my program since there is no actual "circle". I ended up using the elliptical tool, holding shift, but it didn't make the circle the exact right size no matter what I tried. I think spherizing (wow, is that even a word?

) changes it from an exact circle just the slightest. So I ended up making the elliptical circle just a smidge larger and erasing the little bits that hung out. Definitely doing it the hard way.

But I did it. And it's posted in the Globe thread now.

I opened a new file -- 12x12
I then opened an existing template I had that had a square in it and pulled it over to my blank file. Then I just resized that square to a smaller size and then duplicate layered it over and over to get the 7x7 squares.
Once I had them all layed out the way I wanted, save the file so you have as a blank template. Then add your pictures and keep going.

In PSE 8, mine is already there and is called Circle. There are several different circle ones, one that is frame, one that is thin frame, but I used the one that just said Circle. It is a big black circle filled in with white on outside (picture in the cookie cutter tool).

Hope that helps!

I don't have that one but I am using the trial version I downloaded from Adobe. That might not be available in the trial for PSE8. My brother lives near Costco and got the program on sale for me so I'll be converting to the full program soon.
