[Gimp-user] Keep Aspect not working

Gimp works in pixels, and whole numbers, there is a round up/round down
involved.

1000 / 650 is a ratio of 1.53846.. multiply that by 655 and you get 1007.6923
which rounds up to 1008.

What is wrong with that or do you require an image 655 x 1000 pix, in which case
you probably need to resize the canvas rather than scale the image. If you do
want to scale to 655 x 1000 pix then ***break*** the link between width and
height.

Even better, start again using the correct values.
