So... I'm very new to GIMP and anything creative. I'm trying to setup a template for my wife. She wants to podcast with a custom background, once or twice a week. After all the tutorial videos and messing around with the app for a few days, I've decided to do this with the setup in the picture. layers: title, subtitle, footer, overlay, image of whatever for the wallpaper... Then, I created a channel for her host/co-host selection areas. That way, I can just create a new layer from visible based off all her data that changes every few days, and apply a layer mask from the channel I created.
My issue is.. I've found myself wanting to adjust the selected area in a channel that has multiple selections in it. When I go into my channel and hit replace selection with this channel, and have multiple selections on the screen, I cannot edit just one of the selections. Is there a way to do that? or am I stuck recreating the final channel from scratch? I intend on making overlay channels for 2-5 people with and without sharing a desktop for OBS scenes (8 channels).
It's not horribly complicated to remake selection channels, but it takes a good bit of work to get them lined up properly (making sure the scale on each selection is right and the spacing from the edges all line up).... and it would be nice to move individual parts of the selections like I can when I'm creating them. That way I can just click select save to channel again after I make some small tweaks.

Since the channels end up as masks I might dispense with them and go straight for groups and layer masks. The only 'tweak' in this the main image group is in screen mode.
