The greatest problem with your code is that 'gimp-image-resize' does NOT scale the image to a different size, it merely changes the canvas size of the image. If you want to scale your "captured" image, you should use 'gimp-image-scale' or 'gimp-image-scale-full'.
Also, there is not much point to performing a rectangle select on the target image. I suspect that your intent in doing so is to have the upper-left corner of the pasted buffer align with the upper-left corner of the selection; however, this is not how 'gimp-edit-paste' works. Instead, you should change the offsets of the floating selection after pasting: (set! sel-float (car (gimp-edit-paste drawable FALSE))) (gimp-layer-set-offsets sel-float 20 20) (gimp-floating-sel-anchor sel-float) As long as your copy buffer is the proper size, there is no need to perform a rectangle select of the targeted region. However, if you'd rather be absolutely certain that nothing outside the targeted region gets modified, you should select the region and use the Paste Into option of 'gimp-edit-paste' (it is still necessary to change the offsets).
