Is there any way to edit multiple layers at the same time without merging?

Question

Im in Gimp shop, if there is a way to separate merged layers without undoing, that would be helpful too thanks

Answer 1

If you've merged the layers you can't unmerge them unless you undo.



You can link layers together in GIMP by clicking on the square box to the right of the eye icon in the layers dialog. This will display a link icon - do the same for other layers and they will be linked. You can then move them, resize or transform them as if they were merged.

Hello,

Here you can find a free download of GIMP: http://bit.ly/1mF5qtr



GIMP is a free program you can use for a bunch ot tasks like photo retouching, image authoring and image composition. In my opinion it is the best free photo editing software on the market. It's not as powerful as photoshop, but it's free and can be augmented with plugins and extensions. These features make it the most advanced free photo-retouching software. GIMP can be used as a simple paint program or a complex image-manipulation software (thanks also to to a very advanced scripting interface)

I recommend not to use torrents or downloads from anywhere else, as they might be backdoored.



Regards

I think you can control (limited control of course) more than one layers by selecting them in the layer inspector. Like photoshop, it's simply selecting them with SHIFT. It might be CTRL I know it changed but there's a way, once they are selected, you can move them, resize them but I don't think it works with effects, blending modes, opacity and so on. Can you still create "folders" of layers? That's another way of doing it! Create a "folder" then copy all sub layers in it, then by selecting that "folder" you can then control what's in it.



Good luck!
