How does one go about requesting this as a feature enhancement? To include this in Gimp would vastly improve usability in this regard, as well as making logical (and practical) sense. On 26/01/2011 12:14, Jeremy Nell wrote: Except that the opacity slider makes it tougher to see the preview

Øyvind have already answered your question: It indeed is, and this should eventually solve itself as GEGL is more properly integrated with the layer stack of GIMP and what is shown is no longer a preview but the actual result. For now the preview is a hack that provides better visual feedback

Not sure about GEGL previews, bu there is a new transform tool spec: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/Transformation_tool_specification To combine scale, shear and rotate into one tool. No mention of how previews are to be handled, however. -Rob A On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 4:16 AM, Jeremy Nell

The more I work in Gimp, the more I realise that this is something that needs to be looked at by the developers, as it is not very intuitive. Again, I've found how the focus of the image being rotated / scaled interferes with the rest of the working area. For example, if I set a particular

I don't have a solution, but would like to second this - it is really counter productive. The layer should indeed stay where it is and do not change settings like opacity, etc. Peter On 01/26/2011 10:22 AM, Jeremy Nell wrote: The more I work in Gimp, the more I realise that this is something

Rotating and scaling a layer should not affect the opacity and layer positioning, logically. On 26/01/2011 11:28, peter kostov wrote: I don't have a solution, but would like to second this - it is really counter productive. The layer should indeed stay where it is and do not change settings

Except that the opacity slider makes it tougher to see the preview as the opacity is made less. But that's besides the point. 1. If I've set the opacity of the layer, then the opacity of that layer should remain as is when I scale / rotate. 2. When I scale / rotate, the layer's position in

Thanks. That does help, but not completely, because the more you lessen the opacity, the less of the preview you can see. It still appears on top of all the layers, rather than in the layer where it was originally positioned (in this case, at the bottom). On 21/01/2011 12:20, Mikel Garai
