gimpl layers

GIMP's layer system is a powerful and versatile tool for editing images. Layers are essentially like transparent sheets of plastic or acetate that can be stacked on top of each other. A layer can contain anything from text, to a painting or a piece of artwork created with GIMP. Layers can be rearranged, deleted, added, combined, merged, adjusted, and more. The advantage of this system is that it allows the user to perform various editing tasks while keeping the original image intact. Additionally, layers can be adjusted non-destructively, meaning that any changes can be undone or reverted, without damaging the original. This makes it possible for a user to experiment with different effects and make changes to one layer without affecting the rest of the image.
