        Updated all files in the help/C/dialogs dir. This is
        a first alpha glimpse of the help system. Please give
        me feedback of the content. However since it's in alpha
        stage it means that there is spell, grammatical, etc errors.
        There is may also be pure errors which I hope "you" will
        report to either olof@gimp.org or karin@gimp.org. Please
        don't report spell, grammatical, etc error at this stage in dev.

        If you have any plans to commit to the help system please write
        to olof@gimp.org. (This is mandatory not a please ;-).

<P>
The Layer(s) 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 <A HREF="../../modes.html">modes</A>. The mode of a layer will determine
how it will interact with other layers present in the image.
<P>
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 set the
<A HREF="edit_layer_attributes.html">layer attributes</A> of that layer.
<P>
If you right click on the layer name you will be able to access the layer
menu, with in the layer menu you have access to several other layer commands,
see <A HREF="../../layers/index.html">Index</A>.
<P>
With the Opacity slider will you control the over general 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).
<P>
In the button row you have six layer command buttons,
<A HREF="new_layer.html">New Layer</A>,
<A HREF="../../layers/stack/stack.html">Raise Layer</A>,
<A HREF="../../layers/stack/stack.html">Lower Layer</A>,
<A HREF="../../layers/duplicate_layer.html">Duplicate Layer</A>,
<A HREF="../../layers/anchor_layer.html">Anchor Layer</A> and
<A HREF="../../layers/delete_layer.html">Delete Layer</A>.
<P>
Gimp's Layer dialog is by default Auto switched, it will always show the
image that you are working with. You can however switch this off and choose
another image to work with in the drop down menu.
