Exporting Layers w/ White Background/ Consistent Size

[davidjenner]

Hi There, I'm exporting files as layers ok only when I want the image to be the same size as the canvas so a square image is saved as the same rectangular shape consistently.

So for example - I have lots of odd-shaped images and I want to export them all as 2500 x 3500 with the images set in a white background. Not just exporting the layers in their odd shapes.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi David, I realize this is reply may be quite late as I just got back to maintaining this project after a hiatus, but I'll try.

I believe you can achieve this as follows:

1. Set the size of your image to 2500 x 3500.
2. Open more settings (Settings -> Show More Settings).
3. Uncheck "Use layer size".
4. Click "Add Procedure..." and add "gimp-layer-resize-to-image-size".
5. Click "Add Procedure..." and add "gimp-layer-flatten". This will remove the alpha channel and set the background to a color, white by default.

The screenshot below shows the settings.

Alternatively, you can replace step 1 by adding a custom procedure "gimp-image-resize" with 2500 x 3500 width and height, respectively.

Of course, if I misunderstood, let me know.
