What this guide covers
A source note on what the GIMP help pages say about layer stacks, groups, layer types and masks, plus an untested checklist for applying them to a comic page. It helps illustrators and letterers working in GIMP. The manual never mentions comics, so the comic-specific advice is the curator's inference.

Organising a comic page in GIMP layers, from what the manual says about layers, groups, types and masks
Coverage
A source note on what the GIMP help pages say about layer stacks, groups, layer types and masks, plus an untested checklist for applying them to a comic page. It helps illustrators and letterers working in GIMP. The manual never mentions comics, so the comic-specific advice is the curator's inference.
Useful starting points
- A mode set on a group affects only that group, while a mode set above it affects every layer underneath.
- In a layer mask, white keeps pixels and black hides them, which is easier to revise than erasing.
- A link layer needs its external image to stay in place relative to your file.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
