I don't see what's special to this method that would keep image details that may get lost due to resampling.

I'm also not sure how parts of the image have been lost before - the default settings of the rotate tool 
certainly don't do that; the resulting layer can extend beyond the canvas size, though.

That would turn the procedure into:

1. Rotate
2. Fit Canvas to Layers 
   (http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-image-resize-to-layers.html)


Now, if the Clipping mode of the tool is set to Clip (or anything other than Adjust, actually), then parts of 
the image are destroyed, and:

0. Set Clipping mode to Adjust
   (http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-tools-transform.html#gimp-tool-transform)

has to be added to the procedure.


Am I missing something?
