In the previous article we mentioned the technique of quickly '"invisible watermark", a technique that would allow us to prove paternity of a digital photograph. The operation (as already described) is simple. The underlying principle of all is to have a picture "x" (my original photo I just have to keep) and create a picture "and" (the photo that contains the watermark invisible to circulate in internet).

Tutorial: Enlarge an image with little loss using Gimp

The tutorial Today is one of those simple tutorials that are exhausted in a passage. More than a tutorial would call advice useful to remember. Let's say you have a picture medium / small, not suitable for printing, we want larger than twice. Until today I expanded work space with "Picture" - "Scale Image" and inserting the double values, but I just recently discovered a way to resize them in excess with a higher yield using G'MIC, the plugins that we had already discussed, that does it all. Let's say you have a picture very small, 150x200 px.

But let's start from the beginning. Start by saying that "Resynthesizer" is a plugin that fully automatic removes by selection the objects in the picture if placed on a plot, filling the space Missing the selection with the same color of the background, trying to keep the texture uniform.
