Using XP. Then using Gimp 2.8.x (Gimp 2.10 requires Win7 or better) No real way to display layers side-by-side other than temporary copies of the layers. These will be fixed, they will not update with the main image. If you are in single window mode, like this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/OZojGk6.jpg go into default multi-window mode That might give something like this: https://i.imgur.com/05M60hO.jpg Click and drag from the layer dialogue to the top of the toolbox. That will open as a new layer. Arrange on the desktop. https://i.imgur.com/nC8K9NB.jpg Scale copies to a smaller size. Oversize windows shrink them with ctrl-J Is your laptop set for English or is it Thai language.There is no Thai translation for the help files. The installers are bottom of this page https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ If you do not mind using English, the PDF from http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/ is a good alternative. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
