Thanks Xiella. Yes, I got it. I get used to the terms from Microsoft, where we call any items as an object, well object oriented :)

By the way, how can I select the background layer? By > default, it always selects the image object Hi John, I've replied this email on the list, rather than to you personally, so that others can help/be helped. I'm not quite sure what you mean by an image object - GIMP is, in general, a raster editor so we don't really use objects. You can access the layers dialog by Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Layers (should be in the second section). That shows a preview list of the layers you have on your image and you can select the specific layer from there. You might wish to read http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-image-combining.html#gimp-concepts-layers for more information about layers. Kind regards Xiella
