Resizing an image pasted into new layer

[Kangi]

I have another somewhat related question.  I got my image to move, but now when I try to resize it, it stays the same size.  What am I doing wrong?

What method are you using to resize it?

When you paste it, it will be a selection. Just put the mouse on the corner or side of the selection border and hold down the left mouse button. Then move the mouse to stretch it. Hold down the keyboard Shift key if you want to keep the original aspect ratio.

 

(You also might want to try my Paste From Clipboard plugin.)
