This is cool, I like the integration with the old controls and the
realtime transformation.

When rotating a transformed picture it seems a little strange.

The snap radius for the points could be larger - it's like one or two

mouse-over effects (like in select mode).

I'd really like to see this integrated into the main Piclayer Plugin.
Wold file support is the only major thing missing?
