Have you tried Image->Canvas Size?

If you want to resize the background layer without affecting other layers, I think you won't find a software package that does that. To resize all layers, though:

Image -> Scale image

Thanks for the reminder, Branko. I guess I kind of figured it out now.

Have a nice evening !

It's probably late in the piece, but I just thought I'd add that you actually can resize just a layer, both with and without scaling (just as for images). Just do one of the following while the background layer is selected (or whichever layer you wished): - Layer -> Layer Boundary Size (Crops layer) - Layer -> Scale layer (Resizes layer to scale)

It’s never too late to get some hits or tips to me, Xiella, it’s really a

good reminder. By the way, how can I select the background layer? By default, it always selects the image object

Hi John,

I've replied this email on the list, rather than to you personally, so that others can help/be helped. I'm not quite sure what you mean by an image object - GIMP is, in general, a raster editor so we don't really use objects. You can access the layers dialog by Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Layers (should be in the second section). That shows a preview list of the layers you have on your image and you can select the specific layer from there.

You might wish to read
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-image-combining.html#gimp-concepts-layersfor more information about layers.

Kind regards Xiella

Thanks Xiella. Yes, I got it. I get used to the terms from Microsoft, where we call any items as an object, well object oriented :)
