Hello I've been using the GIMP for decades at this point. It has been bothing me that of late (and I am old so late can mean years :) ) that I rotate the image 90% and it doesn't prent in the correct orientation on my websites. This is getting to be a real PIA. With JPGs, you can't just remove the EXIF data without reprocessing the entire image. I have resorted to trying to edit the files in VIM and removing the EXIF data.
But that has lead me another issue, and this is ration serious. It is easier to so than tell: -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998

That would be not cool. One final thing. When I resize images now, I am left with an Layer or Canvas that is still the original size and I have to manually flatten the image. This is a huge time waster and not the original behavior of the GIMP. Maybe there is an preference option on this? _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
