Rotate/Crop

Hmm how to explain I rotate an image (other value with lineŠ) There are unfilled regions after the rotation I use the eyedropper tool to pick up a color near one of the voids and use the bucket tool to fill The line between the rotated image and the fill is jagged/dotted. Is there a better way to do this or a way to make the transition from image to filled space smoother - without enlarging and going in with the stamp tool to tediously blur the edge? David

One thing you can do is set the background colour to the colour you want the filled in area to be, before doing the rotation.

True. But all the unfilled voids aren't the same, depending on what part of the image they are adjacent to... So I use the eyedropper to pick up the color near the void and the bucket to fill - and the intersection between the fill and the image is a jagged/dotted line. If I want it to be a really smooth transition I can only think to enlarge and then use the stamp tool to blur the intersection; very tedious.

I've been doing some experimenting, and the only way I can get jaggies at the edge of the selection is if I save the image, and then reload it, after doing the rotate (the jaggies come as a result of the lossiness of jpeg compression) Using a lossless file format, such as PNG, will not create jaggies. If you insist using JPG, (or other lossy file format) setting a higher tolerance for the fill tool may fix your problem. On 2012-10-26, at 10:41 PM, dknodel@swbell.net wrote: > True.

Ahh, the compression. Thanks. I am not wed to jpg, and file space is not an issue. Will try png; maybe experiment with higher tolerance with jpeg - are some persons/places I exchange files want jpeg. For those persons I copy files to a different folder so can 'save as' what they want (and keep track of what I've sent to whom).

Hello David,just use the fill tool with tolerance.Thorsten On 27.10.2012, at 02:54, dknodel@swbell.net wrote:   Hmm how to explain I rotate an image (other value with lineŠ) There are unfilled regions after the rotation I use the eyedropper tool to pick up a color near one of the voids and use the bucket tool to fill The line between the rotated image and the fill is jagged/dotted.
