I tried your instructions on my already partially done project and got the same bad result. Then I started from scratch making sure I did everything like you said and this time it worked. I like the unified transform tool and will use it from now on.
I'm not sure why this didn't work on my initial partially done project. Here's some of the things I've been doing. Some of those must be wrong. Instead of the unified transform tool. I tend to right click the active layer and choose layer/Scale layer.
I like this because I can type a number in the upper box and then click on the lower box and it automatically puts in the number, so it doesn't distort the image. How can I prevent distortion with the Unified Transform Tool?
With your method after I dragged my base pic into GIMP, I hit Image -> Fit Canvas to Layers, but it didn't do anything. So is this unnecessary to do after I drag in the base pic?
I always use the regular Rotate Tool Shift-R and Move Tool M. In this failed instance I cropped the Face pic before I right clicked it and chose "add layer Mask"
Does it make any difference whether I right click, the actual image in GIMP or instead right click the active layer in the layers dock or choosing the upper menu Layer.
I know many times I'm using pics with different resolutions and sometimes I have quite a few pics in there before deleting them to simplify the project. So does anything jump out to you that I'm doing wrong in regard to the finickiness of GMIC?
