Title: [SOLVED] How to resize a layer in LazPaint?
Post by: CM630 on December 08, 2019, 01:07:42 pm

I am doing the following in LazPaint:
1. Open a image, to be used a background.
2. Open an image "as a layer".
3. I want to resize the layer only.. But I cannot find such an option (as expected Image/Resize resizes both the background image and the layer)  :'(
Is it doable?

Show us some compilable code, else we only can guess what you're doing.

A solution can be loading the image into a separate bitmap and resample that.

In the layer window, you have a series of tool buttons. One of them is to zoom in/out a layer.

Otherwise with latest version, you can use the Edit shape tool. Then click the layer content and you can transform it.

Thanks, boths solutions works, but IMHO the word Zoom is misleading.
It would be nice if Edit Shape Tool could rotate, too.

You can rotate using the ALT key or Right click on the corners.

Thanks,
I coud not make it work with Alt+Mouse, but right mouse on the corners worked for me.
It would be nice if there was some tooltip.
