Re: [Gimp-user] Canvas Colour

[Борис Кукушкин <bkukushkin gmail com>]

Just create a new layer in the layer window (usually it is in the panel from the right side, but if you don't see one, press Ctlr+L to make the window appear). Then left-click the new layer and while holding the mouse button drag it to the bottom of the layer stack. Select the layer and fill it with the white colour.

Good luck!

P.S. GIMP is all right! You'll get used to it very soon ;)

Ok seems I am wrong, managed to do it once but can't remember what I did. Gimp is so frustrating!!! How do I move a layer to the bottom?
