GIMP 2.10 Tutorial - Gimp Layers Tutorial

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to use layers in GIMP 2.10.
Layers are used to place images in a stack to create artwork.
By using transparent images you can lay images in a specific order to create compelling artwork.
layers can contain both images and text.

    This was brilliantly explained and demonstrated, especially for this noob. I love how you're redoing the older vids using the newer version of Gimp. Much appreciated! My sincere thanks. Please do more of these if you can. 👍

    I enjoyed your tutorial on layers. The example that you chose was helpful in demonstrating how a person can use Gimp to overlay and Combine multiple images or graphic elements created by Gimp tools. Your vocals narrative described your thinking process and objectives so one could imagine themselves creating the new image. Your pace was just right not too rapid not to slow.

All the time when I opened GIMP I was like WTF sooo much and no plan :), but honestly with this video you did such a great job. I was able to create my own picture with some layers and surprisingly it doesnt look crap :D , your tutorials are much appreciated. many thanks and keep up the good work helping beginners

    Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question I couldn't find a solution for yet. If you have a typography/text poster with different font combinations and sizes, each a separate layer; that you created in a smaller size like 8x10" 300 dpi. But you would like a larger 16x20" 300 dpi size of it, which would require an upscaling of everything, without losing resolution quality or having to recreate the whole thing manually, which would be hard to do. I couldn't find a solution in gimp for this. I tried to convert it to PSD file, but the text was not editable in Photoshop CS6, no matter what I tried. This procedure is so easy to do in Canva Pro, to group and enlarge your texts in your posters. How can it be done with these two softwares, Gimp and CS6? Can you please advise anything concerning this? Thank you very much!

    I don't understand how you are doing any of this. Every time I try to paste more than one thing onto a background, the first layer that I pasted is automatically merged with the background. I have tried everything to fix this, but it still happens. Why would this feature even exist?? Like, who makes images this way? I hope you can explain how to change this, because I'm on the verge of uninstalling this extremely frustrating program. Photoshop is WAY easier to use, but I can't afford it, so I thought I'd try Gimp. I can't even make more than one layer!

    No idea why you are having a problem as I have used Gimp for years without any issue. Try uninstalling the version you have and download the latest version and see if that helps... May be you pressed a key combination which activated the error you are getting but I have never had that issue...

    I probably did exactly that, tbh. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. I watched your video again, and noticed that you had GIMP set to something called GEGL Operations. Not sure what that is, but I found it, and now I can do proper layers.

    Well, apparently it only worked e one time, because I can't get it to work again. At 2:27, see how it looks in the lower right hand corner? Well, my Layers panel doesn't look like that. It has the Background layer at the bottom, and then above that it's a symbol like two rectangles overlapping and it says Floating Layer selection, which is the first layer that I pasted to the background. When I paste a second layer, that floating selection merges/flattens to the background, so now I can't move it. When I paste a third layer, the second one dies the same thing. I hope that makes sense. If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong, please let me know. I just don't know how to fix this.

    @@ElveeKaye Hey there, I don't know if you're still having this problem, but I suspect that it's because you're doing everything on one layer. Once you have your background, you can create a new layer by going to the menu at the top of your screen and selecting Layer > New Layer. There will probably be a key shortcut listed next to New Layer, but the key shortcut varies, whether you're using Mac, Windows, etc. - so I can't provide it here. By default, the new layer will be the size of your overall image, so just click "OK" to create the layer. Once you have done so, you will be able to paste to this layer, instead of directly to the background. By the way: When you first copy and paste the image, it will appear as the "Floating Layer" you have described. This allows you to easily do things like resize or move the layer before permanently pasting it. Once you're happy with how it looks, you will want to go to the top menu and Layer > Anchor Layer. Alternatively, you can go to the Layers tab (the lower-right on the screen in this video), select the floating layer, and then click the small anchor icon in the tool tray; it will do the same thing as the top menu option. If you don't anchor the layer yourself, it will automatically anchor itself when you paste something else to the same layer. I hope this helps. Happy editing!

    Too fast, difficult to hear and the subtitles don't seem to make much sense unfortunately

    This really sucks , not your tutorial , but the fact that I can't find a tutorial on how to take a person from one picture and put them on a horse in another picture , maybe gimp can't do this and i'll have to revert to photoshop , and all I do find are all these little partial vids , very very VERY annoying

    Photoshop is better than Gimp but Gimp is also powerful, just takes practice...

    The easiest way to do this is with the Foreground Select tool. I just recently watched this tutorial about it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5yGqcuxXdubfco.html (not mine); I hope it proves helpful.
