The problem is that 'Recompose' relies upon the layer IDs of the three layers and your merging of two layers results in the new layer being given a different layer ID. As a work-around, you need to duplicate your B layer twice and work with the two copies, leaving the original layer untouched. After you have completed your editing and merged your copies together, perform an "Edit->Cut", Paste it onto the original layer, and Anchor the floating layer. Unlike Merging, pasting and anchoring will not change the layer ID of the original layer and Recompose will function as expected. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
