                 GIMP allows the user to change a layer’s opacity by selecting the layer in the Layers panel and adjusting the Opacity
                 slider to make it more transparent or opaque.


























                 Adding Text over an Image Layer
                 The Text Tool in GIMP allows you to add and customize text. To add text, select the Text Tool, click on the image, type
                 your text, adjust the font, size, and color, then move the text to your desired position. Once satisfied, click anywhere
                 outside the text box to finalize it.
