While working on an image I found that the behaviour of the Tools= 
Transform Tools= Scale tool suddenly changed - scaling *down* the image 
size caused it to *increase* in size and vice versa. So if I want to 
change the pixel size by a factor f, I need to tell it to change by 1/f.


What's up?
   



You're probably using the corrective mode of the scale tool, this can be
changed in the tool options.

Michael and Simon,
Thanks again.
It's a relief to know it's not the system screwed up, just me!

[Gimp-user] Odd scaling behaviour

This behaviour has now persisted through logging out, re-booting, 
removing and re-installing gimp from CD-ROM.


Gimp v2.2: Mandrake Linux LE2005.

Have a look at the tool options. Probably the corrective option is set
which makes the transform tools doing the opposite. This is very useful
for e.g. correcting the rotational tilt of scans, it is probably less
useful for scaling.

At some point the setting was activated and got stored in your personal
preferences. You can hit the reset button at the bottom of the tool
options dialog to reset them to the default.

I hope this helps,
Simon
