Cut Layer (3.0+) Cuts the whole layer rather than just the pixels. Copy Layer (3.0+) Copy the whole layer rather than just the pixels. Paste Layer (3.0+) Pastes the whole layer if any of the top two actions have been taken. New Organizes the following actions: Paint Layer Add a new paint layer New layer from visible (3.0.2+) Add a new layer with the visible pixels. Duplicate Layer or Mask Duplicates the layer. Cut Selection to New Layer Single action for cut+paste Copy Selection to New Layer Single action for copy+paste Import/Export Organizes the following actions: Save Layer or Mask Saves the Layer or Mask as a separate image. Save Vector Layer as SVG Save the currently selected vector layer as an SVG. Save Group Layers Saves the top-level group layers as single-layer images. Import Layer Import an image as a layer into the current file. Import as... Import an image as a specific layer type. The following layer types are supported: * Paint layer * Transparency Mask * Filter Mask * Selection Mask Convert Organizes the following actions: Convert a layer to... Convert to Paint Layer Convert a mask or vector layer to a paint layer. Transparency Mask Convert a layer to a transparency mask. The image will be converted to grayscale first, and these grayscale values are used to drive the transparency. Filter Mask Convert a layer to a filter mask. The image will be converted to grayscale first, and these grayscale values are used to drive the filter effect area. Selection Mask Convert a layer to a selection mask. The image will be converted to grayscale first, and these grayscale values are used to drive the selected area. Convert Group to Animated Layer This takes the images in the group layer and makes them into frames of an animated layer. Convert Layer Color Space This only converts the color space of the layer, not the image. Select (3.0+): Organizes the following actions: All layers Select all layers. Visible Layers Select all visible layers. Invisible Layers Select all invisible layers, useful for cleaning up a sketch. Locked Layers Select all locked layers. Unlocked Layers Select all unlocked layers. Group Organizes the following actions: Quick Group (3.0+) Adds all selected layers to a group. Quick Clipping Group (3.0+) Adds all selected layers to a group and adds a alpha-inherited layer above it. Quick Ungroup Ungroups the activated layer. Transform Organizes the following actions: Mirror Layer Horizontally Mirror the layer horizontally using the image center. Mirror Layer Vertically Mirror the layer vertically using the image center. Rotate Rotate the layer around the image center. Scale Layer Scale the layer by the given amounts using the given interpolation filter. Shear Layer Shear the layer pixels by the given X and Y angles. Offset Layer Offset the layer pixels by a given amount. Split... Organizes the following actions: Split Alpha Split the image transparency into a mask. This is useful when you wish to edit the transparency separately. Split Layer :ref:`Split the layer ` into given color fields. Clones Array A complex bit of functionality to generate clone-layers for quick sprite making. See :ref:`clones_array` for more details. Edit Metadata Each layer can have its own metadata. Histogram Shows a histogram. + + .. deprecated:: 4.2 + + Removed. Use the :ref:`histogram_docker` instead. + Merge With Layer Below Merge a layer down. Flatten Layer Flatten a Group Layer or flatten the masks into any other layer. Rasterize Layer For making vectors into raster layers. Flatten Image Flatten all layers into one. Layerstyle (2.9.5+) Set the PS-style layerstyle
