Shrinking Photos.

Is there a better way to reduce the size of a digital photo (.jpg) and preserve detail then using the File > Image > Scale Image function of GIMP?

If you want to change the print size, you just have to change the DPI settings. On gimp 2.2 there is a new "print size" dialog that doesn't change the pixel data at all.

Up to gimp 2.0, you have to Scale the Image, but be sure that the number of Pixels doesn't change.

Let's see if I got this right.

On the "Scale Image" dialog, I change the size but not the resolution, correct??

And how does one uncouple these two parameters? When I change one the other changes.

Hi,

No, it doesn't. Changing the size in the Image Scale dialog doesn't have any effect on the resolution.
