kmmcrafts Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 At one time I used to know a way to do this but for the live of me I can't figure out what I did back in the day. Etsy changed the photo formatt requirements.. Many of my listings are "made to order" so it's not a matter of just going and retaking a photo for me. Does anyone know how to edit a photo to sort of zoom out so the photo isn't cut off in the square format.. See my screenshot to see what I mean.. Many of my photos on the main page are cut off like this.. I need to edit a lot of them.. some I can just retake.. some are made to order or shrinkwrap sealed and rather not open and have to rewrap them. Prefer inkscape instructions unless there is something easier.. I do have gimp too if that works.. or some other free program. Just saying I already have inkscape and gimp but I know more with inkscapes buttons etc, LOL See how the Semi truck front end is cut off.. and the Aussie dogs face is cut off.. This is what I need to try to fix.. hopefully without retaking photos.. They used to have a more rectangle photo and back then I had to edit some to zoom in.. now I need to reverse that.

kmmcrafts Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 I figured out that I can open up a correct sized pix image of a white background in inkscape and then load the image into inkscape and combine them and size / center image within that background does what I need.. Only took me about 5 hours to figure that out, LOL Goes pretty fast too since I only need to edit the first image of each listing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I was going to suggest something similar to do with gimp. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I don't know if you use PhotoShop or not, but in PS, you can create a script that will run through an entire folder and do the same action. For Photoshop, I think it's Image>Canvas Size.....then it will basically fill in the negative space with white. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
