- The Layer dialog is the main interface to edit, modify and manage your
- layers. You can think of layers as a stack of slides or clothes on
- your body. Using layers, you can construct an image of several
- conceptual parts which can be manipulated without affecting any other
- part of the image. Layers are stacked on top of each other. The bottom
- layer is the background of the image and the components in the
- foreground of the image come above it.
