I could be wrong but I do not think there is a script or plugin that will let you scale and rotate at the same time in Gimp 2.8 in real time. You could use the measure tool and record the length/angle between two points for use in the scale/rotate dialogues. Otherwise you might have to wait for Gimp 2.10 or try out 2.9.5 dev version For Gimp 2.9.5 Windows try www.partha.com and for linux 'buntu & derivatives there is a ppa. OSX ? This is diving straight in, there is probably a better way of using the handle transform tool but it is all in one go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N5LdgNLE-o all of 1 min 30 secs rich:www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
