[Gimp-user] how to change image resolution without effecting scale within the image itself using gimp as in retaining the roundness of the moon

[scott092707 aol com]

Suggestion:

Remove the Moon to a different layer.
Scale the image layer.
Replace the moon in the image:
        Make the moon larger (Scale it evenly 1:1 fixed aspect ratio), and move the layer around until it is 
where you want it.
        As long as it covers the hole remaining from the original removal, all is good.


I'm a bit fuzzy on the details (you might need to make the moon a separate image, and
then bring it back in later with OpenAsLayers).
