• layers group - It allows you to group together related layers.
• discard invisible layers - Layers merge options that will remove invisible layers after merging
• clipped to bottom layer - It uses the area of the bottommost layer as the basis for the combined layer’s area.
• clipped to image -  It creates a layer that is aligned to the canvas area
• flatten image - It merges all layers into one.
• expanded as necessary - It creates the largest layer, that covers all the layers when merging
• gradient - It is a set of colors arranged in a linear order.
• pattern - It is a small image also known as texture.
• clone tool - It is the tool used to paint pattern
• blend tool - The tool used to fill in an image with gradient
• quick mask - A way of showing the structure of a selection and manipulating it
• link - It joins multiple layers so that the user can move them together.
• color from gradient - The dynamics options for some paint tools used to paint gradients.
• tiling - The process putting of a images side-by-side without creating obvious seams.
• layer fill type - It is the initial covering of all a newly created layer.
• layers - It allows you to separate elements of your images so that you can focus on a specific element
• pencil, paintbrush, and airbrush are tools that can be used to paint gradients
• two tools/ways to fill and paint using patterns: bucket fill tool and clone tool
• two ways to use gradient with GIMP: blend tool and Pencil, Paintbrush, airbrush tools with color from gradient
• GIMP features layers in its image editor
• merge within active group only - will cause only the layers of a layer group to be merged if the selected layer is part of a group.
