But it isn't always possible. Most of the times you have to make minor adjustments, and that progressively destroys image data. The opaque copy of the original tends to make the process of tweaking longer, because you can't see the context. Making the original image semi-transparent would be a great help. > Presently, the solution to this is to scale down incrementally (reduce > scale by 50% until you approach the desired scale, and then scale down > to that exact size.) > Nice tip.

I'd prefer a little slower transformation if the image quality isn't so compromised. > Non-destructive transformation is something that would be more > sensible to implement after 2.4. > Yes, sure. Non-destructive transformation with GEGL will be great. But it won't be here inmediately, and it would be great to have not-so-destructive transformations while we wait.
