<<Also Carol you can right mouse click on the floating layer and select "new layer" which can be very useful.
Regards Pete PS Welcome to the gimp>> The Mac doesn't have right click. Instead, you use with your left hand the control key and with your right the mouse bar on the macbook (or a left mouse button if you were using an actual mouse). I have used this on the floating layer and no context menu comes up. so i think that one limitation I have on the Gimp is that I have to use the menus. So I can go into the layer menu and make a new layer with that. Initially I really missed right click. However, I screwed up my thumb last summer using right click on my windows laptop without a mouse. I had to do a twisting motion with my thumb on the mousing device on the laptop. Anyway, I ended up having to go into physical therapy for several months because of this, with ultrasound and exercises plus anti-inflammatory rx. By using the Control (left hand) Click (right hand) on the Mac, there is no way I can re-injure myself like that. so, i do not bemoan loss of some features when I compare how much pain and work I had to go through to get my right thumb back in service! For those of you who are developers, putting the context menus on the mac version with control click would be a very nice improvement, however. thanks for the welcome! carol
