resize question

Hi

Used to work with photoshop, for instance when i want to take someone's hand in one picture and to put it in another one, i chose my selection , copied it and pasted it into the second picture, and then I could resize it [bigger or smaller], transform it to ajust it to my wills. How can i do it with gimp? The resize , transform tool is for the whole layer and not for the selection itself..I suppose i am missing something..

Thank for your help

I did this in 2.0.5 (for Windows):

Opened two images. Selected something from first image. Edit|Copy. In second image, Edit|Paste. That creates a pasted layer. Select the Scale tool (or Shift-T). You should be able to drag the handles around the pasted layer to scale it. You may have to ensure the "Scale Options" has "Transform Layer" selected in the "Affect:" selection.
