Hello. I am trying to mimic the built in “Bleed” function that you can select in “Cricut Design Space” when you print your design prior to cutting it out on the Cricut machine. The Cricut software actually extends the edges of your object about 1/16 on an inch, all around, so that when the blade cuts out the objects there is NO white color showing after the cut. The “Bleed” that Cricut applies in NOT a solid color border, it actually has every color present at the edge of your object. I know how to add a solid color border but this NOT what I want to do. I found a video where a person actually mimics the “Cricut Bleed” function by manually adding a color matching “Bleed” to the object but they use “Photoshop”. I borrowed a friend’s PC with PS and her technique worked very well. The link below on “Youtube” that shows the person adding the manual “Bleed” in preparation for cutting a larger than normal object on a Cricut machine. If anyone could review the video and shed some light on how to possibly accomplish the same thing using GIMP? I would greatly appreciate the help.
