Zoom layers independently, or overlay an image at different resolution?
I'm doing some low-resolution spritework for a project of mine, and I'd really like to be able to work by doing the pixels on-top of a much higher resolution sketch of the character. (Basically, a sort of Prince-of-Persia-esque rotoscoping, but with hand-drawn artwork)
I've managed to accomplish this to a limited extent by making a second layer, creating a very large square brush, and a wide grid with large snap extent, but this is kind of inelegant, and it limits me strictly to working a pixel at a time.
Is there any better way of accomplishing what I want? Has anyone else ever even wanted to do something like this? (I've had zero luck googling the problem because I can't even think of a concise way to phrase it)

Hi Erika -
I can understand your demand, and unfortunately GIMP is not capable of
that (I wonder if any other raster based software is).
The way you already do it (large square brush + grid) is the only work-around I can think of.

I suspected that might be the case, but thought it was worth asking just in case. Thank you though!
(And if anyone does know a piece of software that can do this in an elegant way, I am all ears! The difficulty I had in googling the feature made it hard to look for alternatives)

You could edit the image to overlay the original, changing the size/resolution to what you want, and then save as a new image.
Then open the original image and import the edited image as a new layer, making adjustments as needed (opacity, etc.).
