hi in this tutorial I'll show you how we
can match the facebook cover picture
with the facebook profile picture using
GIMP
this tutorial will work for Facebook
pages and if you want to do this for
your personal Facebook profile was the
previous tutorial I'll put a link on the
video first thing you need to do is to
create a new image with this width and
height you can go to file new and enter
here this width and this guide click OK
and you end up with this next thing is
to put here an image or a graphic that
you created this time I'll use a
photograph I open it as a layer this one
as you can see it's pretty big so I need
to scale it grab the scale tool click
here make sure this chain here is linked
I'm going to use this width here once
I'm out you click enter and then click
scale
next thing I need to position the image
correctly zoom in a little bit here
the way the image matches now the
background all I need to do is move it
down a little bit
using my arrows
next thing i'll do is go to layer and
layer to image size now it's time to
position the guide so we can crop the
color photo and the profile photo
correctly now move this layer up here so
I can see the numbers and I'll grab a
guide from here the first one is
vertical four three two and you can
watch down here or here
next one is six trio
next 752
then I'll grab a guide from here first
one it's 56
next three seven six
I don't need these numbers anymore so
I'm going to delete the layer
I suggest you pause the video and write
them down next I'll grab this select
tool here and make a selection like this
for the cover photo
make sure it's matching exactly the
position of the guide here and don't
worry about the outside click ctrl C to
copy this file new just click OK here
ctrl V to paste this to new there delete
the background feed canvas 2 layers
next I will export this
call it let's say cover to JPEG click
export and here I can select my options
support the image then I'll just close
this next thing we need to crop the
profile photo
control see again to copy this found you
gain control V to paste it to new layer
delete the background image feed canvas
two layers and again we just need to
export this let's call it profile
and close this
and that's basically it the images now
are ready to be uploaded and you see
that they will match perfectly for
Facebook page so that's it for this
tutorial subscribe like the video and
that's it
bye for now
