Objects in the topmost layer can also partially obstruct objects in lower layers if the top layer has transparency (much like the Layer 1 layer has in our current composition) and the object only takes up a portion of the same pixel locations as other objects below it.
In other words, if you have an image in the topmost layer that has 100% opacity, contains a color, design, image, etc., and is the size of the entire composition (1920×1080 in this case), it will obstruct the view of all of the layers below it in the stacking order. Layers that are higher in the stacking order receive precedence over layers that are lower in the stacking order. The stacking order is the order in which the layers are stacked one on top of the other in your layers panel. This is because this feature allows me to lower the layer in the stacking order. When I am clicked on Layer 1, which is the top layer, you’ll notice that on the downward arrow becomes active. For example, there are now orange arrows we can use at the bottom of this panel (between the Layer Group and Duplicate Layer icons – outlined in green in the image above). Now that we have two layers in our composition, you may notice that there are some new options that have become available in the layers panel. I will start with this same setup for this tutorial (as shown in the photo above – the layers outlined in green).
#GIMP MOVE LAYER HOW TO#
You may (or may not) recall that at the end of the How to Create a New Layer in GIMP article, which is Part 1 of this GIMP Layers series, I ended up with 2 layers in total in my composition – “Layer 1,” which was a transparent layer that was the same size as my overall composition, and the “Background” layer, which contained the color white and was the very first layer that was created as a result of creating a new composition in GIMP (by going to File>New and setting up a 1920 x 1080 pixel layer with a White background color). In this article, I’ll be diving a little deeper into the layers panel by showing you how to work with multiple layers, including creating a new layer with an image, and how to change the “stacking order” of your layers. In my last GIMP Help article covering the layers concept, I provided an introduction to the GIMP layers panel by showing you how to create a new layer.
