Alpha to Selection          An  Alpha  channel  encodes  information  about  each  pixel's  degree  of  transparency  for  a
                                              chosen layer. This choice substitutes the layer's alpha channel for the selection.
                  Merge Visible Layer         This function merges an image's current visible layers.
                  Transform                   This feature flips or rotates an image on the currently chosen layer by 90 or 180 degrees
                                              (clockwise or anticlockwise). Additionally, it permits any movement.

                 Modifying the Opacity level: You can adjust the opacity level of images that are put in layers. This will alter the degree
                 of transparency for layered images.




























                 Adding Text over an Image Layer

                 The text tool in the Tools menu immediately creates a new layer. The text you just inserted is added to a new layer by
                 the text tool. With the aid of editing characteristics like Font, Style, and Color, the text can be modified. Prior to adding
                 and editing content, select the appropriate layer.





























                 You can also use Scale Layer option to set the layer width and height. You can also use Layer → Transform → Rotate/
                 Flip to rotate the content of the layer.
