Gimp photo splash page update#
This will update the 'width' value to a value greater than 640. If gimp fills in the 'height' field with a value less than 480 (for example, 300), then change the 'height' value to 480.(This means the image ratio has more height than we need, so we'll crop it later.) If gimp fills in the 'height' field to a value greater than 480 (for example, 550), accept that value and hit the 'Scale' button in the lower right of the dialog.Based on what Gimp fills in for the height, we'll be able to change the picture's ratio. If the image isn't in the same ratio as 640, 480, the height won't automagically update to '480'. Gimp will automagically update the height field to scale it proportionally to a 640 pixel width based on the image's original proportions. In the "Scale Image" dialog, make sure the lock icon is closed, then type in '640' for the width, erasing whatever was there.Go to "Image > Scale Image" in the Gimp menus along the top of the image.Open up the image you've got in the gimp.I don't remember why, but it's how it is. the image should be a png with a jpg extension.Don't worry, we'll walk through converting it to 16-bit.
The main restriction on syslinux hicolor splashes is that they must be 640 x 480 pixels (not very large these days!) There aren't any practically limiting color limits, though - 65,536 colors ought to be enough for anybody. :) (Above: preview graphic showing syslinux using the very first graphic above)Ĭreate or find some artwork to use as your syslinux splash.
