Let GIMP autoly determines the image size when copy and paste?

Grab windows as an image and the size of it?

Dear All

I am using windows and want to grab a window, I use the following method:

1. ALT + printscreen (copy); 2. use GIMP for a new file;
3. Crtl + v to paste.

Now in step 2 I have to specify the image size, but I have no idea how big the image is. Every time I have to adjust the image a couple of time to let the canvas to EXACTLY fit the copied image size.

How can I use GIMP without specify the image size and let is automatically determines the image size?

Thanks.

S. D.

Let GIMP autoly determines the image size when copy and paste?

Hi,

How can I use GIMP without specify the image size and let is automatically determines the image size?

there is a command that creates a new image using the content of the clipboard. It is located in the file->acquire submenu and you can find a description at http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-file- acquire.html

Hope that helps,

lexA

Thanks.

Why not use:

in Gimp: File -> Aquire -> Screenshot select "Grab a single window", then "Grab" Drag and drop the cross to the window you want.
