Step 2:   Fill the values such as name of the layer, its dimensions, etc. and click on OK button. The new layer appears
                       in the Layers palette.
































              The other options in the Layer Menu are as follows:

                          Option                                            Description

                Edit Layer                  This function enables the user to change the layer's name.
                New Layer from Visible      It makes a new layer out of all the components of the layers that are presently visible.
                Duplicate/Anchor/Delete Layer  These are comparable operations represented by their corresponding icons.

                Merge Down                  This function combines the selected layer with the layer below it that is presently visible.
                Layer Boundary Size         Each layer has a boundary, and by adjusting the layer dimensions, you can more easily
                                            distinguish between chosen and unselected layers.
                Layer to Image Size         The layer boundary is resized to fit the picture size.

                Scale Layer                 This modifies the layer's content's height.
                Add Layer Mask              This feature applies a layer mask to the currently selected layer to prevent damaging edits
                                            to transparency. You can select the kind of mask you want to use on the specific layer using
                                            this choice.
                Apply/Delete Layer Mask     Apply layer mask adds the modifications made in the mask to the current layer, while Delete
                                            layer mask eliminates the mask.
                Show Layer Mask             This displays any adjustments made to the applied mask.

                Edit Layer Mask             By using it or by clicking on the preview, you can alternate between the layer and its applied
                                            mask.
                Mask to Selection           It substitutes the mask layer for the selection.
                Add Alpha Channel           This gives the chosen layer more clarity. It is a very practical utility for using the GIMP to
                                            quickly create animation.
