Image to Layer Size

Hi Gimp-user,

I added multiple transparent layers, and on each I created a component of an image. In the end, I moved the layers to position the components.

I like doing the Layer to Image Size, because it reminds me all components are on the same canvas. But is there any technical reason for doing Image to Layer Size or for not doing it?

Thank you.

If you have text layers which extend beyond the boundaries of the resulting canvas, then when the text layers are cropped, the text information for those layers will be discarded (they become regular layers).

Sometimes it is good to have smaller layers as that saves memory and also avoids having "garbage pixels" poluting other zones. There is also the case in which you want to have a layer bigger than the canvas or any size but with parts outside of the canvas, for adjusments, spill zone (blurs that have information from "outside", ie) or animations.
