See Frank's answer for the fixed 90 degrees rotation. For an arbitrary rotation, you don't need to enlarge the canvas beforehand. You can use a rotation in "corrective" mode, and then "Image/Fit Canvas to layers" which will enlarge and move the canvas as needed. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
