Creating/managing layers GIMP 2.8.2
#2
Hi
There are two ways I could suggest, both should be very easy to do. Either:

- Create blank layers(layer-new layer). Then cut and paste each section from the original image layer. So I'd use a rectangle selection tool (don't worry if your rectangle is wider than the image as it will only select the bit in the image), then cut from the image, move to the new layer then paste. Anchor the floating selection (move cursor outside your selection and you should see an anchor appear, click to anchor). Then repeat for each section on a new layer.
- Or, use layer via copy/cut plugin (see here http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4424#p54849)

Now you have your layers, you can select each one in turn and move them by a pixel or two, using move tool. Finally, right-click on a layer and select 'flatten image' (or 'merge visible layers' would also work if all are visible).

Hope this helps, let me know if this works or if you have problems. Note that you may want to do a crop of the final image, moving layers around will obviously leave a blank couple of pixels on the edges.
