You can currently kinda get around this by setting the "Image opacity" in the Tool options palate for unified transform tool to less than 100%. Unfortunately, unless you also change the "Opacity" field in the layer palate, the untransformed layer B is still in the way. Thus my proposal: hide/remove the untransformed version of layer B while the user is transforming it, and set the default "Image opacity" for the transform tool to 50% by default. This would get layer B out of the way, and let you see translucently a bit of what is under the transformation preview as well (layer A). -C > > > Elle > > > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list > _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
