How to Group Together Layers in GIMP
The GIMP image editor uses layers as a way to separate portions of a complex image. Each layer can be thought of as a transparency. When multiple transparencies are stacked together, a new image is created. You can group, or link, multiple layers together to perform a single operation, such as moving, resizing or rotating, on all of the layers at once. You can only have a single group of linked layers in one image.
