Maybe this is the same situation I have. I have a picture (picture 1). I expand the size of the canvas to make room to copy another picture beside the original (picture 2). Picture 2 is copied from an open GIMP image and pasted into the enlarged canvas area of picture 1. Picture 2 is invisible if it dragged outside the bounds of picture 1 into an open area of the canvas. I can't figure out why that would be a useful design characteristic and how to change the situation to make the imported pictures visible on the expanded canvas. Probably something simple. _____ Bert -- Lambertus (via gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
