Hi,
First post on this forum.
I enjoy using GIMP.
I have a question about cropping and pasting as new layer.
When cropping a select part of an image using the fuzzy select tool and pasting it into a new layer, the layer boundary exceeds the cropped image size - there is typically extra vertical space around the top and bottom of the cropped image.
This makes resizing particularly difficult because I cannot compare the actual size of the cropped image to that of other layers pasted into the image because of the extra space.
I can confirm that nothing else has been selected below the cropped image.
I use GIMP to crop photos of coins.
So I crop and paste side A of the coin.
I then crop and paste side B as a new layer. However GIMP adds extra space around the image which makes resizing side B really hard. It would otherwise be as simple as resizing the layer/image of side B to match side A.
Any help would be appreciated as have not been able to work out why this is happening.
Peter
