28 If the imported layer and the image have a different resolution, it'll scale the filelayer by scaling it's resolution. In other words, import a 600dpi A4 image onto a 300dpi A4 image, and the filelayer will be scaled to fit precisely on the 300dpi image. Useful for comics, where the ink-layer is prefered to be at a higher resolution than the colors. 28​ If the imported layer and the image have a different resolution, it'll scale the filelayer by scaling it's resolution.

38 You can turn any set of layers into a file layer by rightclicking them and doing :menuselection:`convert --> convert to file layer`. It will then open a save prompt for the file location and when done will save the file and replace the layer with a file layer pointing at that file. 38​ You can turn any set of layers into a file layer by rightclicking them and doing :menuselection:`convert --> convert to file layer`.
