Scaling on Center of Layer?
I think there is no such scaling. But when you use scale tool, there appears a small circle in the middle of scaling grid. Place your pointer on boundary of circle, it will change its look. Hold and drag image to scale in proportion. But remember to inter-lock width and length (Using chain looking tool at side of parameter boxes.) to keep scaling in proportion.

Hi guys,
it is a lot of time that I noted that if I convert a RAW file from myCanon
camera in TIFF and then I post elaborate it with GIMP, I obtain a file
without
EXIF. No problem whan I convert the RAW file in jpeg. Can you suggest me some solutions?
Please note for instance this jpeg file obtained from a TIFF file withGIMP:
Thanks a lot.

Yes you can reassign the control keys. But that doesn't completely solve the inconvenience. Ypu still have to confirm losing info on exiting GIMP. There is also a plugin (from Akasha?) which is slightly better than reassigning, but introduced another problem (I seem to recall).

I think my favorite argument against user preference options is that "it's too hard and complicated." GiMP is already a masterpiece of complexity and effectiveness. Writing in an additional user preference is somehow too much though.
Perhaps it would suffice to turn special warning messages permanently off, something like a checkbox in the warning dialog: "Don't show this message again." This is rather common in modern programs and would make live somewhat easier. I already re-defined CTRL-S to export, but still I have to click the warning message each time when I close an image.

Why would you be? It's even in the project's roadmap.
Well, then I'm lucky this time. My general impression with this mailing list is that each time you ask for something that is not obvious to everyone, someone will surely try to make you look like an idiot -- that makes me cautious.

In the gimp 2.9 development preview, hold down control and shift in the new uniform scaling tool. So it's in the works. This new tool only really works if your selection or layer fits on the screen, though, unfortunately, as the controls are glued to the edge of the selection.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1Phil,
I doubt that you can do much with these images other than extract the thumbnail which is obviously quite small.
I used jpeg snoop (http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/jpeg-snoop.html) to examine file number 4 and there are markers in the file that should not be there. Perhaps you can use a hex editor to fix it, I have no idea.
Sorry, Partha

Hi Partha/all
Ive uploaded/shared 4 pics to dropbox...
0001 is ok 0002 is 75% is ok
0003 is 5% ish ok
0007 is just another 5% ok filelooking though the thumbnails more closely, even some of them seem to
have
corruption, ie pink lines though them, that look to be old ascii symbols, but cant see that clearly, as they thumbs.
Ill try the Exif extraction tool in a bit, just to try and get something at least out of the pictures.

Hi All
Apologies to all for not starting a new thread, i have been an avid reader of the emails for a while now, and read most of what people put here, so sorry Michael & Jay who pointed that out to me..
ill try and answer all questions about whats what etc.
I believe the original pictures, that were taken in 2011, were taken directly of the camera via USB cable, these were then stored on my friends computer, and these were corrupted. I didnt notice it much at first, as she asked me to look at something different (spamware), but her screen saver, which must have read the pic folder, showed
pictures,
that looked to be corrupted, i initially thought that these were to
big
for the screen saver to handle, and dismissed them.
She still had the memory card, and the thumbnails, still showed fine
on
camera preview screen, so she thought they were safe. But luckly, she
is
not an avid photographer, and didnt even wipe the card! After that, i Borrowed the card, and used photorescue (it saved me once so i was
more
than happy to pay for it after my canon 350d corrupted a card that was not quick enough), and it again found the same pictures corrupted.
So then began my quest for finding information/utilities to
undo/correct
the files.
The Card reader is my own, that i ran the software recovery on, so
with
the fact that since she has bought a new memory card, and it worked fine, i assume its a faulty card? so i took a copy of what she had.
DSC0001.jpg seems to be fine, this is the first card picture on the card, i dont know if any were taken before, ie new card or new camera, but i could find out if needed. DSC0002.jpg, that is ooo 75% ok, but after that, all the remaining 221 pictures are damaged, all only
showing
about 5%.
I ran imagemagick "mogrify -strip name-of-file.jpg", that ella suggested, and it gave me a comment unsupported marker type 0x3a 'dsc0002.jpg' @warning/jpeg.c/jpegerrorhandler/313.
I did try loading into Gimp 2.8.2 on debian 7.2 after the imagemagick command, and it also said this message (i thought i had tried it on linux but obviously not), OSX 10.6 running gimp 2.8.3 didnt give the same error message, and im sure windows 7 running gimp 2.8.6 (from memory) also didnt give the handler error.
From what little research that i have done since, the error is
quite a
complicated one. Something to do with data strips ending in FF D9 in a hex editor. The 0001 file has 3 of these, the other 2 that i have
tried
only have 1 reference (from searching the file).
Ella's other suggestion for converting from jpg to png, i entered "convert DSC0002.jpg test.png" and it converted the image, with the corruption, with no error's reported, also tried dsc0001 and it converted fine (but the original image was ok).
Im assuming meta data is not transfered to a PNG, ill be honest, i
dont
know much about them, as most of my work is saved back out as JPEG's etc, apart from when exporting from inkscape, which prefers
PNG's/Tiffs
etc.
Hmm, well, it does sound like file damage rather than just a case of
messed up metadata or a version of jpeg that imagemagick can read and other
image editors can't. Perhaps someone else can help. I don't knowanything
at all about recovering damaged image files.
If the thumbs are intact, this page: http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/exiftool-commands.html#extract tells how to use exiftool to extract the thumbnail as a separate image file. As always, work on a copy of the original.
Good luck!
