In gimp I imported two separate images as separate layers into an image. I'm trying to resize one of these images so that it better matches the other. How can I do this?

I tried right clicking on the image, and selecting "scale," but it just scales the whole image, not just the one image that I'm trying to change.

I tried the scale tool. As I change the size of the image it gives a preview of what the size of the new image. But when I click the button to make the changes, it seems to do it, but in the end the image is still there, unchanged.

  1. Select the Layer you want to scale. In your Layer selection dialog.
  2. In the menu bar of the main window select Layer or press Alt+L
  3. Go down to Scale Layer... or press S
  4. Happy scaling

Hope this is what you wanted.

you will be better off with photoshop. Gimp is extremely limited, you will have a hard time resizing layers, however if you insist then go to Tools -> Transformation Tools -> Handle Transform.

Left Click to add and move handles Ctrl+ Left Click to remove handles. just be careful if Gimp adds to many handles (any more than 2) as it can make it difficult to get your layer in the correct position.
