IF your picture has multiple layers (it may not - jpeg's don't when brought in)

it will allow you to determine which layer is being modified by the editor,

and to rearrange which layers are on top.

How do you put dropable dialogs back into a GIMP toolbox?

I actually wondered this for a while when I updated my GIMP before figuring this one out. I tried dragging the entire window and dropping it, but that obviously didn't work. Then I tried grabbing just inside the window and dragging that.Let's take the dialogue box "Layers" for example. The entire window is, in my case, surrounded by a blue border (I use Windows, obviously) telling me that this window is active. Instead of grabbing the blue border, I grab the word "Layers" at the top and drag it into GIMP where it says "You can drop dock-able dialogues here".To add more dialogues to my GIMP toolbox, I drag the dialogue to the raised bar that separates my GIMP toolbox and my other docked dialogues.I hope I've explained this well enough. If something is still hazy, please feel free to ask. Good luck.

How do you place an image in gimp?

Once upon a time you could drop an image into GIMP and start working on it. No more. Now, you must open it through the application. You do this with Ctrl+o for as many images from a single folder as you can handle, or Ctrl+Shift+o to open them all as layers in a single window.

How do you draw on multiple layers at the same time on gimp?

In GIMP, to draw on multiple layers simultaneously, you can use the "Paint on All Layers" option. First, select the layer you want to draw on, then go to the "Tool Options" for your brush or pencil tool and check the "Paint on All Layers" box. This allows you to apply your strokes to all visible layers at once. Remember to ensure that the layers you want to affect are visible and not locked.

Right-click on Gimp in your Applications folder and select "Open With". This will open a window of all your applications and you'll select X11. X11 is under Utilities. I'm not sure how you managed to make Gimp open with Photobooth, but kudos to you haha.
