I've used Gimp for a while, but only in the most rudimentary way. I'm now trying something new for me that has me stumped. I've RTFM, searched online and watched YouTube vids, but I must be obtuse.
I have a scan containing two fragments of a document that I want to piece together. I successfully moved the fragments apart and now want to rotate each piece individually. I selected one piece using Tools->Selection Tools->Rectangular Select. Next I activated Tools->Transform Tools->Rotate. In Tool Options, I set Transform: Selection. I'm up to this step in the first screenshot. I enter a rotation, 90 degrees. I get a crawling ants frame that is otherwise all white. When I select Rotate, the blank white crawling ant frame remains. The originally selected region remains unchanged (second screenshot).
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but how do I accomplish the rotation I want?
