3. Scaling upon export:
When exporting an image for display on the web, the image usually
needs to be resized, and sometimes you might want to make some
additional edits at the reduced size before the final export. But not
always. It would be convenient to have the option to scale the image
as part of the file export dialog, leaving the GIMP XCF file at the
original size.
For current Gimp there is the "Save for Web" plug-in that lets you
crop/scale the image. However it's not uncommon to do a little bit of
sharpening after a downscale, or maybe add some watermark... Better take
the habit to use Image>Duplicate. This creates an "untitled" image to
there is little risk to overwrite the original image with a scaled down
version(*).
(*) in the "belt-cum-suspenders" series, shouldn't Gimp issue a warning
when saving an image if it detects that the image has been scaled
down/cropped? This is another case of potential accidental loss of data.
