Copy/Paste Layers from one Project to another? - Cyrus - 05-16-2018

Noob here. I was wondering if it's possible to take a Layer I have in one project file (.xcf) and drop it into another. Like copy/paste, but with Layers.

Thank you

Yes, you make the layer active, and Select>all + Edit>Copy and then in the target image do Edit>Paste as>New layer. But you can also more simply drag the thumbnail of the layer in the Layers list of the source image to the canvas of the target image (in single-window mode, you may have to drag to the tab of the target image).
