Copy past a layer

Date:Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:22:04 +0100


Good day dear members of the comp.graphics.apps.gimp newsgroup.
I've got two layers one on the other. I would like to copy and past in
a new image one of them and get rid the other. As much as I try I
simply dont find how to do it on Gimp 2.4.5.

Please, can You help me ?

Many Thanks.

Select the layer in the layers tab. Press CTRL+a (select all), CTRL+c
(copy), then CTRL+SHIFT+v (paste as new image) or create a new image and
just paste in there.

Note that GIMP's copy/selection tools almost always just apply to the
current layer, which is why "select all + copy" really only copies the
current layer.

You may also save your image under a new name (ie. make a copy)
and then remove all unneeded layers.
