Hi,

Long time Gimp user with unresolved problem here. One of the many task I use Gimp for is collaging images of spaces and buildings for work. We have Photoshop licences but I find some of the Gimp workflow better.

I frequently need to correct perspective (or scale for that matter) to match a feature of the underlaying layers. The problem is that a not transformed copy of the object stays in place behind the transform obscuring the underlaying image and preventing accurate transform.

Yes, it's a well-known issue.

Is there a setting or alternative workflow to achieve what I'm looking for?

No, we just need to fix that abomination :)

Hi Kalle,

there is a simple workaround. Just hide the layer and then transform it. Even for a hidden layer you have the preview during transformation.

Is there a setting or alternative workflow to achieve what I'm looking for? I created a series of images showing the problem. Unfortunately my simple example usecase can be helped by using the grid but there are similar circumstances when the reference detail is more or less completely hidden by the pre-transform copy of the layer/selection. What you can see however is that the outline of the red rectangle is lost in the background copy.

Anyone else who'd also be very happy for a way of hiding transform matrices?
