There are a few ways you can do this -- method one:

1 - Float the selection (this creates a 'floating layer' from that selection)
2 - Layers menu -> To New Layer

Method two:

1 - Copy the selection
2 - Paste As -> New Layer (this may lose its positioning on the image canvas, a 
known issue)

[Gimp-user] Selection to Layer

2014-10-20 Thread candeschultz

New user here. running GIMP 2.8.10 on an old XP machine.
Have downloaded 2.8.14 but holding off on the installation while learning.
Al that aside.  Question,  How do I change a selection to a layer?
Thankyou..Izzy
