hello dear Rich2005 
Thanks again, Rich — your tips are really useful! I’m trying to fully understand the (up to) 4-layer example in your visual.
Could you break down the stack in detail? For example:
• Layer 1 (bottom): What is it, and is it just a flat background color/image?
• Layer 2: Is this the result of the color-erase step? How is it set to blend with the background?
• Layer 3: Is this the recolored object itself, or an overlay? Which blend mode is used?
• Layer 4 (top): Is this for touch-ups/masks, or something else?
If possible, could you also mention:
– Which blend modes each layer is set to
– Whether each layer has an alpha channel
– If masks are applied anywhere
I think seeing exactly how the layers interact will make it easier to reproduce the result step-by-step.
it would be awesome if you could reveal some words bout the layer modes, transparency, and masks —
which seems to b somewhat the "secret sauce" in GIMP workflows.
look forward to hear from you
