Hi John,

I've replied this email on the list, rather than to you personally, so that
others can help/be helped.  I'm not quite sure what you mean by an image
object - GIMP is, in general, a raster editor so we don't really use
objects.  You can access the layers dialog by Windows -> Dockable Dialogs ->
Layers (should be in the second section).  That shows a preview list of the
layers you have on your image and you can select the specific layer from
there.

You might wish to read
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-image-combining.html#gimp-concepts-layersfor
more information about layers.

Kind regards
Xiella
