Dear GIMP users:

I have a 1000*1000 picture, for example. I need to tile it (copy and paste) into a 2000*3000 bigger pictures.

But I found it's hard for me to exactly tile the bigger files. How can I set to make sure there are no gaps.

You can add guides to the image at the boundary between tiles. Place vertical guides at 0 and 1000 and horizontal guides at 0, 1000, and 2000.

From the image window, open the Image menu. Select the Guides submenu.

And choose the New Guide... item. This dialog lets you precisely position your guides.

Then drag your pasted layer tiles into position. They will snap into place.

What I did are:

Generate a new file whose size is 2000*3000. Select All (ctrl + A), copy the original picture and paste to the new file and position it the left upper corner. Do it again and again.

But I found it's hard for me to exactly tile the bigger files. How can I set to make sure there are no gaps.

1. Save your first image as a pattern (.pat) in your .gimp-2.2/patterns/ folder
then use the bucket fill in the larger image. 2. Refresh the patterns dialog
3. Select the pattern you just saved in the patterns dialog (they are sorted alphabetically if you have trouble finding it) 4. Pick the bucket fill tool
5. Click in your second image (wherever you want, the pattern will start as expected in the top left corner)

This can avoid a large number of copy/paste if you want to tile your image many times.

Filters->Map->Tile, enter the target dimensions, press OK.
