Advanced Layering Techniques on Linux with GIMP

“The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is one of the most
powerful image editing tools available. It is, effectively, the
Photoshop of the open source world; and with that kind of title

depth and more flexibility.

methods for using layering in GIMP. Once these techniques have been
mastered, creating and editing digital masterpieces will be so much
easier. I will assume the basics of layers is understood (such as
how to add, copy, and delete layers), so the 101-level layer steps
will not be discussed.
