Maybe the manual mentions this. Maybe not. That's the way of documentation (even with commercial apps). There are always tricks to doing things with software. You learn by doing. Experimentation is king. 'Course, asking on mailing lists and forums doesn't hurt. > However, regarding your first paragraph, I understand what you are > saying and do not argue with it.

Actually, you can also use the Layers menu in the Layers dialog - right click on the floating selection (or any layer) to see it. > See the terminology confusion? Sure. But I ignore it. They say "tomaeto", I say "tomahto". Doesn't change what you have to do to make it work. Don't get too hung up on terminology. Spoils the fun. ;-) I suppose they could say "Anchor To Layer" instead. Feel free to suggest it to the developers or the documentation project. Or maybe the floating selection should be referred to as a floating layer instead. I often refer to the "image window" as the "canvas window" in my articles and books. I believe the term "image" is highly overused and a potential source of confusion too. All you have to do is convince everyone to say the same thing every time the reference something. Good luck. :-) -- Michael J.
