I am almost brand new to Gimp. I downloaded it at home because I retired and no longer have access to photoshop. I am trying to learn it but I am stuck on layers. I started a file and put two graphics on it, but now I can't work with them independently. To be perfectly honest when i used Photoshop I did not use layers and just kept merging everything. I tried to learn layers but I just could not figure it out. So now I'm stuck on Gimp and I guess I will have to learn layers. --- When I try to put a rectangle around one of my graphics and move it, the whole entire pasteboard moves and I cannot move graphics by themself. Is there a way to not have to use layers? Or is it better that I learn how to do it? -- Also I am bit overwhelmed by all the selections and options. My project is to make a 5.5 inch by 3.5 inch "card" with photos and graphics on it. Thanks. Marty
