rotate a pic

I want to rotate a pic about 20 degrees.

I can easily do this in PhotoShop...but of course I end up with a larger pic & the white triangles that square off the pic. How do I rotate pic in gimp & end up without the pic cut off.

Use the rotate tool (part of the transform tool in 1.2.x) and set your rotation to 20 degrees. In the tool options make sure that "Clip result" is unchecked (which it is by default) and you will get a new, rotated layer with the extra bits being filled by transparency.

However, the image doesn't get resized, only the active layer (or selection, or path). To resize the image you must use the crop tool in resize mode, or "Image->Canvas size".

Cheers, Dave.

Resize the cancas before rotating the picture.

Or after rotating the picture. Actually that's simpler since you can use the crop tool, select the size of rotated layer and crop/resize.

Actually, we should probably add a way to rotate the whole image by arbitrary angle and have it expand just like a layer (unless Clip Result is checked). This could be an option in the Image->Rotate menu or it could be a new mode of the transform tools (next to Layer, Selection, Path). Or both.
