I wrote a script a few years back which added a "Float Linked Layers" command that floated the selection on each linked layer, producing a new layer above each of the linked layers. This set of floated layers are all linked (the original layers are unlinked) so that you can move them all at the same time. Once the linked layers have been repositioned, a second script called "Merge Down Linked Layers" will merge each of the floated layers back onto its original layer. I believe the script will still work with newer version of GIMP (it was written for v2.4) but you might want to put elsewhere in the menus. http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Scripts/deep-float.scm _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
