new here..and am having fun with GIMP
i created a logo for myself and i am trying to figure out how to copy and paste it as a whole
on top of a jpeg i want to use for the background...without doing it layer by layer
is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help
Yes it's possible, this is how I do (usually)
I take from the
History tab, if it's not open go to
Windows ➤ Dockable Dialogs ➤ Document History (if the document is not listed just open it, then close it, it will be listed)
I click (and stay clicked!) on the .xcf I want to insert in the opened image and drag it where I want in the
Layers stack
In the screenshot below, you can see that thin black horizontal line ➤ is where it will be dropped when you release your mouse click
I also do the same way (drag 'n drop DIRECTLY in the middle of the layer stack)
with any images on the desktop or directories/folders, it works the same way

- Open the JPEG
- File > Open as layers and select you XCF
- Chainlink all the PNG layers together to move them
Or, starting from the multi-layer image:
- File > Open as layer the JPEG
- Drag it to the bottom if the stack
- Align it as wanted to the PNG layers
- Image > Fit canvas to layers
In both cases your problem is adjusting the relative positions of the JPEG and the PNG layers if they aren't the same size.
