[Gimp-developer] Transformation obeying layer blending?

[Tobiasz Karoń <unfa00 gmail com>]

Hi!

When doing transformations (scale, rotation, perspective transform) the
transformed layer "pops out" and transformed part of the image is fully
opaque and drawn on top of everything else together with the transfomation
gizmo/controls/grid.

Sometimes I'd like to be able to make this semi-transparent to be able to
align one layer to another, laying underneath it.

Sometimes I use the "Difference" blending type to compare two layers and
align stuff precisely. For translation I can use the arrow keys and the
blending works, but for perspective transform, scaling or rotation - I
can't use my layer's blending while manipulating the transfomation, and
that'd be super useful at times.

What do you think?
