Re: [Gimp-user] Rotating An Image Using GIMP 2.8.0. WITHOUT Losing Any Of The Image

[scl <scl gplus gmail com>]

You are right, the online help is a bit skimped in that point. The most 
comprehensive is written in chapter 4.5 [1].
I'd like to mention some thoughts:
- If rotating the image is embedded into a bigger workflow, steps 1 and 
10 are not necessary for rotating.
- 'Image/Fit Canvas to Layers' can also grow the canvas to fit the 
layers. Thus steps 3 and 4 are optional.

However, thank you for your hard work and sharing your knowledge with 
the community!

Kind regards,

Sven
