can't find the magic to enlarge an image copied to a layer, see attached
I started with a jpg, imported to gimp and removed the white background
copied that image to a layer and that copy operation created a new layer
named 'dropped buffer'.
I thought I enlarged the copied image with the scale tool and moved it.
But the enlarged moved image is not an image really, its a selection outline,
marching ants, and only that and it is actually in the layer that image was copied
to, not the created, dropped buffer, layer??
huh? this should be pretty simple....right?
I think I don't care what layer the enlarged moved version ends up in, as long
as its the "real" image and not some ghost outline.
