Flattening Layers

                  You can combine all the layers of an image to make one layer by
                  flattening layers.

                  To flatten layers, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1  Right-click anywhere  in the  Layers palette.  A pop-up  menu
                           appears.

                  Step 2  Select the Flatten Image option. All the layers are combined
                           into one layer.

                  To merge two images, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1  Open an image in GIMP. In this case, we have opened a Flower2.png.

                  Step 2  Open another image. In this case, we have opened a Flower1.png.

                  Step 3  Use any Selection Tool from the Toolbox to select the area you want to copy.
                  Step 4  Press Edit      Copy option from the Menu bar  to copy the selected portion of the
                           image.

                  Step 5  Click on the Flower2.png image.

                  Step 6  Press Edit   Paste option from the Menu bar to paste the copied selection.
                           When you paste an image, a temporary layer, called floating layer is added to the Layers
                           palette.
                  Step 7  Move the pasted image anywhere in the Flower 2.png image layer by using the Move
                           tool.

                  Step 8  Click  on  Anchor  the  floating  layer  button at the bottom of the  Layers  palette to
                           merge the floating layer to the layers palette.
                  This action merges the floating selection into the active layer of the first image.
