I am trying to create a flyer in Gimp, but every single time I paste an image and then paste another image, it automatically merges the previous image I was working on. This is a problem because then I can't click on that image again to move it around, resize, etc.
I have tried creating the images as different layers but this did not work.
How can I make it so that I can move from image to image (object to object) without having the image I am working with merge with my original layer.
After you paste, make what you pasted (the"floating selection") a "true" layer (Layer ▶ To new layer or Ctrl-Shift-N)
