You probably confused some number because (last time I checked) there was no gimp 2.7! Gimp 2.3.1 is the latest unstable version. And gimp 2.2.7 is the latest _stable_ version. > The steps I go through are: > > 1. Create a new image (image A) using the US-Letter template. This > is the image I will be printing. > > 2.

This doesn't happen in my gimp. I have 2.2.3 in linux. Try doing Image>Scale Image on Image B before you copy and paste it to image A.

If you think it's a bug then (if you can) please go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/simple-bug-guide.cgi And submit a bug by doing this: First creating a new account (I know this could be a pain but it helps the developers to track you down if they need more info from you). Then login. Go to above link. On the first page choose appropriate option and then go to second page (by clicking "next page" button). Here make sure you put a check mark on "Click here to also show applications not part of the GNOME 2 Desktop" Then on the selection list select "GIMP" then go "next page" again. Then on this page the component is likely "tools" according to your description. So choose that and move on to next page. On this page you choose bug "severity" and move on. Then you choose gimp version (in your case I think it's 2.2.7 and _not_ 2.7 :) Then _finally_ you fill out the details. > Also, if I open, say, three images and copy-and-paste them onto a > fresh letter-size image, I was expecting to see 4 layers, a background > layer and three floating selection layers as I get when doing this in > Photoshop Elements.

I think the developers (God bless them) intended for this to happen. When you copy one image into another (Edit> Copy then Edit>paste), gimp does not automatically create a layer for you but rather gives you a temporary layer called "Floating Selection (Pasted Layer)". Now you have to options, one being "Anchor Layer" (access this by right clicking on the floating layer) and the other "New Layer". Anchor layer merges the floating layer and the layer under it, whereas new layer puts the floating selection in a new layer. It turns out (I just tried it) if you paste and you have "Floating Selection" layer then the action that will be taken by gimp is make the "anchor layer". Thanks for helping out The GIMP Don, and I hope you like it. -Gezim _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
