Cropping images - pasting to new layer - layer boundary size
#1
Hi,

First post on this forum.

I enjoy using GIMP.

I have a question about cropping and pasting as new layer.

When cropping a select part of an image using the fuzzy select tool and pasting it into a new layer, the layer boundary exceeds the cropped image size  - there is typically extra vertical space around the top and bottom of the cropped image.

This makes resizing particularly difficult because I cannot compare the actual size of the cropped image to that of other layers pasted into the image because of the extra space.

I can confirm that nothing else has been selected below the cropped image.

I use GIMP to crop photos of coins.
So I crop and paste side A of the coin.
I then crop and paste side B as a new layer. However GIMP adds extra space  around the image which makes resizing side B really hard. It would otherwise be as simple as resizing the layer/image of side B to match side A.

Any help would be appreciated as have not been able to work out why this is happening.
