If you make a selection, then save it to a channel, then later say,

selection, then decide to move the layer you just bucket filled, if  
you have the channel
and the layer linked, you can move both, then if you need to recall  
the selection for
some reason, it is in perfect registration with the bucket filled  
layer.



Hm.. interesting. And how do I tell GIMP wich channel should be  
linked to each layer? The link icon gives no info about what is being  
linked, right?

[Gimp-user] Locking layers

2007-06-27 Thread Victor Domingos
Hi!

Is there an easy way to lock one or more layers, so that one cannot  
move or change them by any other way? I thought that was the function  
of the little chain icons in the layer windows, but they seem to do  
nothing... By the way, what are they for?

Thanks,
Victor Domingos

The chain isn't a lock it is a link.  The layers are linked together so 
that moving one of the linked layers will move the other as well.

They're used to move several layers at time - they keep same position. Usefull 
tool, when you wish to move several layers and do not want their composition 
to change. Otherwise you ougth to merge them what is not always what you want 
to do.
You change active layer by selecting one in Layers tab. You select it and all 
actions you do apply to active layer only.

Right, but when I try to move a layer, sometimes I will be moving the  
layer that is on top, instead. When I click the image with the Move  
Tool, it will pick the top layer...

Hm... I noticed right now that there is an option for this tool...  
Move the active layer - that's it :)
