Layer tattoos are useful when a reference to a layer needs to be
maintained across GIMP sessions, subsequent open-ings of the same

The only reason I can conceive why this might
On the whole it's probably better to use the existing layer, because that

I looked at that one and they simply create a new image with a scaled
version of the active layer, which is sub-optimal from a UI
perspective (the plugin registers under the Image menu, but only

Hi-
I am writing a c plugin to scale a layer. (This is much as an
exercise for me as anything).
I have looked at a few examples and they handle things differently
- Create a new image with a new layer the new size
- Create a new layer in the existing image just above the input layer
- Creat
