Thanks for th quick replies which is really appreciated.
I have only recently started to use GIMP2 and so in 'learning mode' at present.
I had been using an old version of Paint Shop Pro which wasn't written very well
to handle memory and so I couldn't create layers with large image files which
GIMP2 can.
