It shows more blurry than the same 8 times 10° rotation on a link layer (which will be as sharp as a single 80° rotation).<br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/115/111/941/302/636/668/original/91398ba4ac8b273a.png"> <br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/115/111/947/547/838/484/original/adcf015737c7586a.png"> <br/> 2025-08-29T12:04:28Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswd07wksm8tyxz7jlm7afehfatupw3an0q4rjgdxkyg4whywtevnczypenwxdff0c564lcsuvslnypneu6049vd5ek0qfl9g2750sw4k0dxxmdnrg A few days ago, we finally merged an early implementation of link layers (layers linking to external files) into <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jxdd5znhu8yxya62ekeaqtlnktay839aam378r46pgedkthggpyqletxs3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>GIMP</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jxd…txs3</span>)</a></span>. <br/><br/>This has various usages, e.g. the ability to work at several people on a same image by linking a separate document (e.g. someone working on backgrounds and another on characters). Or again when working with different software.<br/><br/>For instance, in this example, the layer links a #SVG file.
