Flattening Layers

                  Flattening layers in GIMP merges all visible  layers into a
                  single layer, effectively combining all elements of the image
                  into one.
                  To flatten layers, follow the given steps:
                  Step 1  Select a layer which you want to flatten.
                  Step 2  Right click on the Layers  palette  and  select  Flatten

                          Image option.
                  In GIMP, you can also add text on an image or view by using
                  the Text Tool, a text layer is created in the Layers palette.
                                                                                              Using Flatten Image
                      MERGING TWO IMAGES

                  To merge two images in GIMP, you can open both images as layers in the same project and then
                  combine them as needed.
                                                                           Tech Funda
                  To  merge  two  images, follow  the  given

                  steps:
                                                                        To unflatten the layers:
                  Step 1  Open an image in GIMP. In this
                                                                                       Ctrl   +    Z
                           case,  we  have  opened  a  dog
                           image. A new layer is created with
                           the name Dog.jpg.

                  Step 2  Add a new layer by clicking on the Create a new layer button.
                  Step 3  Click on the Image menu.

                  Step 4  Select the  Canvas  Size
                           option.
                  Step 5  Enter  the desired value in
                           Width and  Height box to
                           in Increase the canvas size.

                  Step 6  Hide  the  Dog.jpg  layer
                           by clicking on the Eye icon.
                  Step 7  Open an another image.

                  Step 8  Using the  Selection  Tool,
                           select whole  or  a  part  of
                           image.
                  Step 9  Copy the  selected  portion
                           and paste it on the added

                           layer. When you paste an image, a temporary layer, called floating layer is added to the
                           Layers palette.
                  Step 10  Click on Anchor  the  floating  layer  button at the bottom of the Layers  palette to
                           merge the floating layer to the layers palette.
