[Gimp-user] problems with understand how to resize images properly

[menglor <forums gimpusers com>]

I may not be able to answer your question, but I can explain a few things that I
am taking on blind faith and its working.

So, start with the Work you want to resize, and create a new  object with the
desired size your trying to get.  then  copy one into the other.

Then the magic piece is to Export to a Jpg, and from word "Insert it as a image"

I am finding that if you let the application think, it over does it.
