The main computer I use for GIMP is not that powerful and has only 8 Gigs of RAM and is 12 years old. It works fine with GIMP until I use Rotate and sometimes it's slow but completes other times it stalls and I have to close and reopen GIMP and try again.
I opened the same file on my powerful music studio computer using remote desktop and it rotated the image fine without stalling, so far that's my workaround on problem files.
Here's what I tried with no success:
1) Tried clips not adjusting in the Rotate box.
2) Used the crop tool on my layer mask to make the original pic smaller - tried this with adjusting and clip options in the Rotate options..
3) Tried Menu > Layer > Layer to image size with all the above also
4) Tried Menu > Layer > Crop to Content
When I select my layer mask and choose Scale in the box it shows that it's this size 5199x5040. When I click on rotate I see a box with a green progress circle going around clockwise. It'll do fine until about 3/4 or more and then it'll stop and then I see this blue circle that is rotating showing that it's processing, Yet the green has stopped moving.
In some instances the green is moving fast then super slow, so I let it complete and it's successful. Other times I let it go for a minute or 2 and it actually completes. Other times it's hopelessly stalled and I have to close GIMP and try again. Most of the time I can eventually get it to work, except for this 1 file.
I'm confused about what's meant by "confirmed rotation" Does this mean if I successfully rotate the image and then I see I need to rotate a 2nd x or more? In this problem file, I may be on my 2nd or 3rd rotation. So each time I rotate the pic, it increases in size and gets harder for the computer to complete it, right?
I Tried Menu > Layer > Crop to Content The green progress stalled past 3/4, I let it go for a few minutes and then clicked on the x at the top right of the rotate box. It closed the rotate box and the the pic was successfully rotated - surprise.
I tried it a 2nd time and let it go for about 2 min and this time, the x didn't close the rotate box and I had to close GIMP. So for now no consistent solution for this file. Any more suggestions?
