Layers and Layer Management

Layering the Image in GIMP : 

Step 1: 

• Click on Tool → Transform Tool → Move
• It will move the image so that it’s positioned in the top-left corner of the canvas.

Step 2: 

• Click on Edit → Copy
• It will copy the image duplicated or pasted elsewhere.

Step 3: 

• Edit → Paste As → New Layer 
• It creates a new, independent layer containing the same image content and allows it to be manipulated separately from the original.
