Figure 11.110. The same image, before and after applying Tile filter
(We have reduced image size intentionnally)
This filter is found in the image window menu under
-> -> .This filter makes several copies of the original image, in a same or reduced size, into a bigger (new) image.
Tile to new size
Input boxes and their arrow-heads allow you to enter you want for the new image. Both directions are linked by default with a chain; you can make them independant by breaking this chain. You can choose a unit else than pixel by clicking on the drop-down list button.
The new image must be bigger than the original one . Else, you will get an image sample only. Choose sizes that are multiple of original sizes if you don't want to have truncated tiles.
It's in your interest to keep this option checked to avoid modifying your original image.
