## 4. Creating New Layers

There are several ways to create new layers in an image. Here are the most important ones:

- Selecting Layer → New Layer… in the main menu. This brings up a dialog that allows you to set the basic properties of the new layer; see the New Layer dialog section for help with it.

- Selecting Layer → Duplicate Layers in the main menu. This creates a new layer, that is a perfect copy of the currently active layer, just above the active layer.

- When you «cut» or «copy» something, and then paste it using Ctrl+V or Edit → Paste, the result is a «floating selection», which is a sort of temporary layer. Before you can do anything else, you either have to anchor the floating selection to an existing layer, or convert it into a normal layer. If you do the latter, the new layer will be sized just large enough to contain the pasted material.
