Cropping a Coin Using Gimp 2

I made this video to help members to crop coins in circular format to help improve the Coin Catalogue.

I use Gimp 2 which is a free downloadable image editing software program which you can get here.

Here is the video with all the steps to crop a square image into a round one.

Hi Mike,

do you mind if I add this link to the Numisdoc about pictures?
I included a section here on how to prepare images with GIMP and guess this would perfectly fit there.

Hm, I think a video with a direct screen cap would be better (better resolution, lighting etc.).
Also a possible second cropping of an iregular formed coin would be nice.

P.S. nice blast from the past (trailing mouse cursor )

No worries please add it Pejounet.

I will have a go at doing it with a direct screen capture as suggested by idolenz. The one I did was just my wife holding a phone.

I love trailing mouse curors lol. Can always see where they have been haha..

cheers Mike

I have updated the video with a much better one. The YouTube link has been updated.

This time I used a Video Capture Program to directly capture the Screen while using Gimp 2 to Crop a square image into a round one.

Feel free to use it as you see fit Pejounet.

Regards Mike
