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.
Experimenting with few GIMP Layer Options
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.
