GIMP :: Arbitrarily Rotate The Layers?
Aug 4, 2012
In a discussion today, a group of us were trying to figure out why whenrotating layers that don't have 100% opacity, go back to totally opaquewhen you try to arbitrarily rotate the layers? Is that an expectedbehavior? Such behavior makes it difficult to align layers.

If one can select multiple layers to modify i.e. scale, rotate, transform... or is it only possible one layer at a time?

I have a grid of objects—say, tiny squares. I'd like to make arbitrarily-shaped selections of those objects—for instance, select a star-shaped group of the squares. Or a circle-shaped group of the squares. Or use text paths to select letter-shaped groups of the squares.
I could imagine a utility that lets me choose an arbitrary shape/path, and then turn that into a selection of objects on the canvas. Is this possible?
Right now I'm stuck using the lasso tool to hand-draw shape selections but it's not accurate enough for what I need to do.

When I copy/drap an artboard, most of the time a random shape(s) will move around a arbitrarily. Why?

My first time using this forum, as I new to Photoshop CS6.
How do I link(or whatever) 3D layers in order for them to move together (such as, rotating)? I have a logo that has two layers, and I want the 2nd layer to be raised up off the other layer.
I have tried to link them, but when I do that, there's a circle with a line through it, signifying this I can't rotate the; environment, scene, current view, or the shape.
How do I over come this?

I have a floorplan of a building and am labeling exits of the building for evacuation routes. Each exit label is on its own layer. I need to show the floor plan from different perspectives/orientations and therefore need to rotate the exit labels in place on their own individual axis. So far I have been going in and selecting the image (label) on each layer and rotating it 90 degrees and then repeating the process for the next label. When I group the layers they all rotate on one axis and therefore are not near the exit they are supposed to be near. Is there an easier (quicker) way to rotate the labels as I have to do this for four different perspective for each of four floor plans?

With all the interface options, I'm having trouble finding one I think was available in previous versions: rotating the canvas.
Is it in the menu somewhere? Is there a shortcut?
I'm already very impressed (and somewhat overwhelmed) by all the features I've seen so far in Gimp.

When I have a photo that has come out portrait rather than landscape which is a normal case the rotate function seems to cut off some of the two sides of the photo. If I want to rotate it what I call correctly I use Gnome Image Viewer.
Why can't I rotate images similarly with Gimp?

Is there any way to just rotate a rectangular image? I have often scanned in something that's not square, it's often a brochure that's taller than it is wide. But when I scanned it, I had turn it sideways to get the whole thing visible to the scanner. So it scans completely, but now I have an image of it that's not "up is up"-- I have "up is right" or "up is left." But now I have to do all this junkbutter: 1) Look at the canvas size, 2) make the width & height equal to the larger of the two, 3) use the Rotate tool to turn the image 90 degrees, then 4) do some magic to move the image to start at the upper-left, and 5) crop it back down to get rid of the blank space on the bottom. YUCKY! Is there some magic tool I haven't found yet that will rotate, move and crop all in one step? I just want to turn the entire image on it's side without any other fuss. Is that possible somehow? I have to assume it is, but I sure couldn't find it...

I can find image rotate easily enough. But I can't find any way I can rotate it a few degrees. I frequently scan stuff in and it frequently needs 1 degree or such to straighten it up. I used to do that with Paint Shop Pro. Surely Gimp has the same functionality?

I am looking for a way to rotate a image, but not the normal clockwise rotation, rather a spin rotation. I have tried the the transform tool with slight success . imagine looking at a front view of a wheel & tire that needs turned slightly.

I can't rotate a text box in my XCF file. When I create a new XCF file, I can easily create and rotate a text box.
I've attached the problematic XCF file. Please see if you can rotate the text box.

Is there a way in gimp to rotate a 2D image (e.g. BMW%20M3%20-%202002%20-%2003.jpg) about the Y Axis? I tried GMIC but that rotates the layer in 3D. I would like to create a view of the front of the car or any any in between.

I'm new here, as well as to script-fu, although I've looked into Scheme and Lisp and know how to program. I'm using Gimp 2.6.12 (the latest version on Linux - Ubuntu 12.04.2)
So, an overview of what I'm trying to do: create a simple clock face (black) with 12 solid white rectangles at the hour marks.
I have a single layer, (black background, white foreground colours), I select a circle, invert the selection and bucket fill.
Then I select a rectangle, fill it, rotate the layer (which cuts out the rectangle, creates a floating selection with it, and rotates that) anchor the flt-sel (and then repeat 12 times).
> (gimp-rect-select image 570 396 25 8 2 0 0) ; select rectangle
(#t)
> (gimp-bucket-fill layer 0 0 100 0 0 0 0) ; fills the selection (stays selected)
(#t)
> (gimp-drawable-transform-rotate layer (/ PI 2) 0 400 400 0 2 0 3 0) ; creates a flt-sel, but returns layer instead of the flt-sel(!?) ...
(4) ; (also deactivates selection)
> (set! fs (car (gimp-image-get-floating-sel image))) ; ... so have to get the flt-sel explicitly
26
> (gimp-floating-sel-anchor fs)
(#t)
This kinda works, but doesn't feel like the optimal way to do it . What I was expecting to do is something like copying the selection, 12 x (rotate and add), bucket-fill.

When Rotating or Resizing an image I have recently run into an issue. This is new behavior so I think I either have something set incorrectly, or it came in with a recent re-install.
When Rotating or Resizing, and setting Clipping to Adjust, it always Crops the image.
In other words: If I were to attempt to stretch an image bigger than 1000x1000 to say 1500x1500 it appears to do all the correct calculations, and does stretch the image, but anything outside the original 1000x1000 disappears.
Likewise if I were to attempt to rotate an image that were say, 1000x1500, 90°, I would end up with a rotated image 1000x1000 in size, and transparent/background for the balance of the original 1000x1500 sized image.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling (it remembered all my settings, so I don't know how much good this might have done), setting the Clipping option to Clip, then Crop and back to Adjust again (also with no result).

Is there a way to rotate the paintbrush tool? There's many times when I'm using a brush and it's at the wrong angle. Placing the brush on a separate layer and then rotating the layer is a huge hassle. Therefore, I was wondering if there was a way to rotate brushes.

How can I move (rotate or otherwise transform) a Selection.
1. Suppose I have a single Layer, on which I draw an image.
2. Now I activate a Selection Tool (Rectangular, Elliptical, Lasso, etc.) and make a Selection.
3. Then I activate the Move Tool and click on the "Move Selection" option, not the "Move Layer" option. [Oddly, when the "Move Selection" option is activated, there are two greyed out (unavailable) sub-options, both indication "Move Selection".]
4. With the Move Tool, I am able to move the Selection, but not the contents of that Selection.
The Gimp Documentation guide says:"If you click-and-drag the selection without handles, you create a new selection! To move the selection contents, you have to hold down Ctrl+Alt keys and click-and-drag the selection. This makes the original place empty. A floating selection is created. The required key commands may differ on your system, look in the status bar to see if another combination is specified; for example, Shift+Ctrl+Alt."
I have tried every combination of Shift, Ctrl and Alt (Shift+Ctrl, Ctrl+Alt and Shift+Alt). None of these allow me to move the contents of the selection. Further, there are no "handles" on the Selection. I suppose the key is to get the handles to appear, but I have not been able to discover the secret combination of keys to make that happen.
I am running Windows XP Pro.

The other day,I don't know exactly what I did but while using the "rotate" feature,the box did wind up very low on the screen...so low that I absolutely have to click on it and lift it up to be able to use it.How can you restore it to the place where it should be?

I have a Wacom Bamboo Capture, I'm on a Mac OSX 10.8.3, and I'm using GIMP 2.8.4.
The pen and tablet seem to work together fine, with pressure sensitivity and all, but when I attempt to use the gesture functions (such as rotation) GIMP doesn't respond.
I know the problem isn't with the hardware because the little "rotate icon" pops up when I do the gesture, it's just the way it is communicating with GIMP that is the problem.

my gimp 2.8.6 makes majority normal layers turn into text layers..
Even if i "discard text information" from layer..and then save it as .xcf it doesnt work! Same layers appear as text layers when i open that .xcf Its not a big deal but it really slows me down when im working with layers..

I merged my layers down to scale to proportion and I thought I was done with the project, so I saved it and exported. I then learned that I did something incorrectly, so I went back to the project only to remember I merged the layers and I don't know how to undo that. How do you revert the layers back to layers?

Is there a plugin that allows real-time rotate/scale of a selection (like in photoshop) ? The way it works stock is the only annoying thing in gimp that makes my work unnecessarily harder.

I'd like to orient a picture of a book so that it's on a 45 degree angle and then "cut out" the area around the "book" to that when you view the picture is looks like a book on a 45 degree angle with no area around it. I'm sure GIMP can do that but the question is whether I can put that same photo on a website and have it look like it's a book on a45 degree angle.

Gimp 2.8.0. Mageia2.
When using the rotate option in transform tools a very annoying grid pops up. This has never occurred before. It appears to be useless as it rotates with the image. How can I remove it?
