I'm wanting to sell some of my pictures, but I'm having problems with the aspect ratio. I looked at the tutorial, but I have gimp. It doesn't have a command like Constrained Aspect Ratio. Is there anyway to figure the aspect ratio without pulling my hair out?

Use the pixel chart! You can find it on this page.

have just checked on my new install of "GIMP 2" for windows
the scale option the main tool box dosen't use constrained aspect ratio. But if you right click on the photo
and go IMAGE > SCALE IMAGE
the aspect ratio is locked if you want it
so if you haven't already, upgrade to GIMP 2
remember GIMP is free for everyone

Scale image in Gimp doesn't give the aspect ratio per sey. The X and Y ratios are used to resize the image by multiplying the original number of pixels in the related axis by the number entered in the ratio boxes.
To figure out what your current aspect ratio is take the number of pixels on the longest side and divide it by the number of pixels on the shortest side. Most cameras, other than DSLRs, use 4:3 (1.33 to 1) with some allowing you to select 3:2 (1.5 to 1). A regular 8 x 10 print is 1.25 to 1.
I believe the original size of an image out of the S50 is 2272 x 1704 (1.33 to 1). To get an 8 x 10 from your original image multiply 1704 by 1.25. This will give you the number of pixels required on the longest side.
If your working with crops other than the original size you'll have to figure out what the aspect ratio is and then figure out the number of pixels from your starting point.
Use these numbers when using the plugin for gimp.
I hope I haven't confused matters more.
Once you've got this then look at the pixel chart to see how much you have to interpolate upwards to get the right dpi. |
