"The GIMP uses layers to let you organize your image. Think of them as a "

"composite of their contents."
139
#: tips/gimp-tips.xml.in.h:19

"The layer named "Background" is special because it lacks "

166
"When you save an image to work on it again later, try using XCF, the GIMP's "
167
"native file format (use the file extension <tt>.xcf</tt>). This preserves "
168
"the layers and every aspect of your work-in-progress. Once a project is "
