How to remove unwanted line on Gimp 2.10.14 - Hoodiefiend - 03-13-2020

Hi there,

I've been trying to figure out how to remove the outline of the adjusted "twitch logo" in my attachment picture.
If you look carefully, you will see a previous outline after i scaled the twitch logo down.

How do i remove that outline??
Thank you so much

I can not reproduce that from the information you give. Scaling a layer (icon) layer looks like this:

Can you post the whole Gimp something like above ? Especially the layers dock.

When exporting the image (to a png or jpeg) does the 'ghosting' still exist ?
If it does easy fixed with the resynthesizer / heal plugin or just a simple clone but the real question is what operations preceded your screenshot.

Filter - Enhance - Heal Selection
Just select the line you want to delete and apply the heal selection filter.

Hello! Thank you for the responses.

I have made 3 layers:
1. One for the background (space)
2. One for the text on top of the background
3. Twitch Logo

Prior to this issue, I found out how to adjust the twitch logo's size and grew the Twitch logo to show the outer white space
i.e. "Select" - "Grow" - etc..

After moving this Twitch logo, the outline of the adjusted (bigger) twitch logo was left.
P.s. Exporting my attached image like this still shows the outline

@ Krikor.. Are you talking about the "Filters" button on top?
I do not see the "Heal Selection" option.

I tried the "Healing Tool" but at the bottom of the window it says, "Set a source image first".

Anything else you need to help me figure this out?
Im using Gimp 2.10.14 by the way

I agree with Rich, the real question is how it appeared. You would get something like this if you do alpha-to-selection(*) before using the Scale tool, which is unnecessary of the object you scale is already on it own layer.

(*) because the edge pixels are only partially transparent, so are partially selected. When you apply a transform tool to a selection, that selection is cut to a temporary layer. But pixels that are partially selected are only partially cut, so are not totally removed from the source layer and leave a ghost...

@Ofnuts So how do you think I can remove that outline now?

Ok. I have taken a screen of the Twitch logo with the outline next to it. 
The second picture are the list of layers.
When I click on the 2nd layer.. Both the twitch logo AND the outline goes away.

I have been trying to duplicate the twitch logo & outline layer and crop the outline out of the image but then... the other layers scale down as well... EVEN when i lock the layer 

Oh my gosh.
Please help

I HAD TO ADJUST LAYER BOUNDARY SIZE. got it
