    I tried to read up on it, i understand it in theory, but in practical terms I don’t get what’s the difference to just working with layers…

    I guess I might have to play around a bit with it to get it? I dunno…

      Layers aren’t edits, they’re layers. Edits you make to layers or parts of layers. That image whose transform was being edited in my previous example would be on its own layer.

      Also, it’s been a while since I used Gimp so I’m going off of very vague memories that I have tried to erase with copious amounts of alcohol.
