I may just be stupid, but I found this *really* hard to understand. I couldn't get the layers to work or anything. Any suggestions?
cool tut. btw~
anyway, the set layer as background is not really a real setting, what i do is clean up my scanned image and then place it first on the layers window. I then lock it (lock icon on the layers pane), so it would stay put and not be altered before i add layers on top. the background should be your first layer that other layers will be on top of, or overlap.
I use a different process now to paint in GIMP (used to draw on top of the picture with layers for each section and edited as i went), but its a bit weird.
the new GIMP has a function like lasso+outline highlighter, and it traces the lineart of the original image and cuts it out so(i have to make sure the image is desaturated and dirty spots are cleaned beforehand) i can place just the black outlines on a new layer. Then i can legitimately have a background layer just for the background, and then do a lineart layer that is transparent to the bottom, background layer.
