Figure 15.77. The Contents of the “Layer” Menu

The items on the Layer menu allow you to work on layers. In addition to accessing the Layer menu from the Image menubar and by right-clicking on the image window, you can get to it by right-clicking on the thumbnail of a layer in the Layers dialog. You can also perform several of the operations on this menu by clicking on buttons in the Layers dialog, for example, resizing a layer, managing layer transparency and merging layers.

This menu can contain other entries besides the ones described in this section. They are not part of GIMP itself, but are extensions (plug-ins). Please refer to the documentation about the plug-ins for more information.
