It has some strange facsimile of Lanczos downscaling. If you compare ImageMagick's implementation with GIMP's, you can see a clear difference (and that ImageMagick gives better looking results.) Yes, the downscaling code, in particular the new Lanczos code, still has issues. Help with fixing that would be very much appreciated. If you want to help, and are able to help, please show up on the gimp-developer list.

In general we would appreciate if people with complaints about the GIMP development process would choose the proper mailing-list and post to gimp-developer.

If you can provide hard data that backs this up with numbers well that might be a different story but it would have to be global figures.

[Gimp-user] Resizing and Scaling imported/pasted pictures. . .?
Hi All, I'm having a problem here. I don't understand why editing an imported/pasted picture isn't more straightforward. Why is it not as simple as selecting the area to edit and choosing the scale tool? I keep finding myself in some strange editing mode where I can't switch layers and I can't scale anything. I simply want to do the following: 1) Import picture as layer 2) Crop that import 3) Scale that crop . . .for whatever reason it always wants to scale the background or the layer. I just want to edit the picture I have selected. Regards, Michael ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You are most probably trying to work with a floating selection. That is something you pasted but haven't positioned yet. After positioning you have the choice of anchoring it or making it a new layer. See http://docs.gimp.org/2.2/en/gimp-getting-unstuck.html#gimp-using-getting-unstuck-common-causes And yes, we discussed to completely eliminate floating selections. But they are needed for some tasks and we haven't yet found a good solution for this. Perhaps something to address for GIMP 2.6 ...

I do like it when I'm able to read something in languages other than English. BrazPort is something I could at best blunder my way through, but it usually carries a kind of expressiveness that plaid old English often lacks.
