Hmm ... I don't even see any problems? The end result (desktop2.png) looks perfectly fine to me.
Keep in mind, when you use *any* transform tool, the on-canvas preview is just a rough calculation executed as quickly as possible (for performance reasons). The final transform, on the other hand, is calculated as accurately/precisely as possible (and takes considerably longer). This is why there is an apparent quality difference between the two screenshots, but the difference is only in the rendering, and desktop2.png IS the correct result. ...Or do you also have a screenshot of the image before applying the Scale tool at all? It's harder to evaluate if the transform is correct without a proper 'before' version to compare with. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: Ben Thurston <benpaulthurs...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2019 8:46 PM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org; strata_ran...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 88, Issue 9 Sorry If I'm not replying to this correctly but here are two screenshots. I hadn't done anything with the layers, this is just pasting some text in from the clipboard and scaling it, it looks great in the preview (desktop1.png) but then when I click the scale button it becomes as in (desktop2.png), On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 7:00 AM <gimp-user-list-requ...@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list-requ...@gnome.org>> wrote: Send gimp-user-list mailing list submissions to gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to gimp-user-list-requ...@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list-requ...@gnome.org> You can reach the person managing the list at gimp-user-list-ow...@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list-ow...@gnome.org> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of gimp-user-list digest..."

I actually find it easier not using GIMP at all here and using a vector program instead (e.g. Inkscape). Move the images roughly together, zoom in and align one feature between two images, then set it as the center of rotation, move to a second (quite distant) feature and align that. (I'm omitting a few steps regarding alpha blending but you get the general idea.) -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com<mailto:strata_ran...@hotmail.com> -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list <gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org>> on behalf of BWK <for...@gimpusers.com<mailto:for...@gimpusers.com>> Sent: Friday, January 4, 2019 1:50 PM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org> Cc: notificati...@gimpusers.com<mailto:notificati...@gimpusers.com> Subject: [Gimp-user] IImprovements to unified transform >I guess likewise also need a way of rotating without having to drag >outside the edge. That would need a rotator modifier key or tool. The crtitical issue is, when overlaying one aerial photo over another, you aren't necessarily aligning the edges. Having sizing/skewing handles on the edges or corners works fine if the edges or corners is what you want to align. but in this instance, what you are looking to align is features that can be anywhere within the image (aligning what is in the top layer with what is in the layer underneath). -- BWK (via www.gimpusers.com/forums<http://www.gimpusers.com/forums><http://www.gimpusers.com/forums>) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto: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 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 17:59:56 +0000 From: Richard <strata_ran...@hotmail.com<mailto:strata_ran...@hotmail.com>> To: "gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org>" <gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org>>, Ben Thurston <benpaulthurs...@gmail.com<mailto:benpaulthurs...@gmail.com>> Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] scaling tool problems Message-ID: <mwhpr22mb052849ec88b8f52debcbad039c...@mwhpr22mb0528.namprd22.prod.outlook.com<mailto:mwhpr22mb052849ec88b8f52debcbad039c...@mwhpr22mb0528.namprd22.prod.outlook.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" What exactly do you mean by "faint" and "washed out" -- can you post some screenshots? The first thing that comes to mind is check if the layer being rotated has a specific opacity (<100%) or blending mode (other than "Normal") that's causing the issue, as the previews you see when using the tool don't take these into account. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com<mailto:strata_ran...@hotmail.com> -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list <gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org>> on behalf of Ben Thurston via gimp-user-list <gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org>> Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 11:43 PM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org<mailto:gimp-user-list@gnome.org> Subject: [Gimp-user] scaling tool problems I recently switched to the new version on Windows 10, and when I want to scale a selection, as I resize it, it looks good but when I confirm with the scale button, it changes from the way it looked in the preview to being really faint and washed out.
