One feature that was always leaking in Gimp was building a web template. Photoshop has a great tool for doing this. Making a web template in Gimp is a little bit different. There are many plugins for Gimp that do this job like webotine, py-slice, unfortunately if you don’t have them installed it’s sometimes very hard to install them. In theory to install it you need to:
- find the *.scm file on net
- go to Edit> Preferences> Folders> Scripts and see where are scripts saved
- and copy your script in that folder
But practically it’s difficult and you’ll probably get some errors. It’s maybe because these plugins are old, there is no one of these in gimp plugin registry. If you don’t have it i can just say good luck.
I was very happy when i saw in my Gimp on Ubuntu that i have this plugin in Filters> Web> Slice…
If you don’t have plugins and can’t install them, than you need to use Guillotine at Image> Transform> Guillotine. You need to have rulers enabled, press Shift+Ctrl+R go to View and click on Show Rulers.
Now drag rulers to the position you need, like in this photo with dummy template.
When you finish, just use Guillotine, it will slice your image into many and will popup the newly created images save them and use how ever you like.
Using plugins is barley the same, when you make grids find your plugin in menu, usually in Filter> Web menu. Than configure the name of the image folder and html file in which you want to store the image tables of your template and you’re finished.
They can't ignore us, and they can't put us down. Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state.
