> The Layers dialog is the main interface to interact with layers
|
|
present in a Gimp image. You can think of layers as a stack of
|
|
slides or clothes on your body. Gimp gives you several methods of
|
|
combining layers with help of modes. The mode of a layer will
|
|
determine how it will interact with other layers present in the
|
|
image.

> Before you can do anything with a layer the layer must be

activated (if you only have one layer that layer is always

active). You do so by clicking on the layer name, if you double

click on the name you will be able to <A

transparency of the currently active layer. The Keep Trans check

button controls what ever you can or can't paint on transparent

areas of the layer. If it is checked then you can paint on

transparent areas of the layer (i.e you can only paint on opaque

areas).
