Ah, okay. I had been putting a jack-o-lantern where I wanted it, duplicating the layer, and then moving the new layer somewhere else. That worked, but it's tedious, and you end up with a ton of layers. Your way works better. -- Thanks! Rich On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 1:37 PM, E Johnson <iris.gates@gmail.com> wrote:
presuming your maps will printout on something like 8.5x11 sheets:
Make your map in the GIMP;
Right-click, do Add layer (yes)
Arrange your clippy jackolanterns as needed on this layer (rescale the first one as needed, then keep it copied to the clipboard or in another file). You can add or delete on this layer here without disturbing the map below.
When you have the jackolanterns where you want them, Right-click, do Layer> Merge down.
Then finalize any other changes to your map, then Save... you should be ready to print then.
If there's more to it, give me a call.

It's not necessarily a Linux-specific question, but I'm creating some maps for the company Halloween party to direct kids to cubicles that have candy. I want to mark those cubicles with jack-o-lanterns. Using the GIMP, how can I use some jack-o-lantern clip-art as a stamp? It might be useful to keep the jack-o-lanterns on a separate layer in the process.
