To shrink wrap in GIMP, you use a specific command that adjusts the window to fit the image dimensions, essentially removing any excess empty space around it.

Steps to Shrink Wrap in GIMP

You can achieve the shrink wrap effect in GIMP using two primary methods:

  • Using the Menu Bar: Navigate to the View menu, and then select the Shrink Wrap option. This will automatically resize the GIMP window to fit the image.
  • Using the Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl+J. This keyboard shortcut directly activates the shrink wrap function, making it a quick way to resize the window.
