Objects not in the layer panel.

If you want a new empty layer then : Layer -> New Layer  If you want a specific size put it in the new layer dialogue or make it and then crop it.

Gimp does not use "objects" as such. These are more for Vector editing programs. You can move layers around with the move tool.

Quote:I'd like to attach a screen shot, but the clipboard viewer drives me insane. Any better options there also?

Gimp can take a screen shot of itself: File -> Create -> Screenshot

Thanks for the help! Not objects, everything is a layer. Again, thanks.......When I create a new rectangle, it does not generate a layer in the layer panel.
