Scaling and moving

[hammsman]

Good question for you gimpsters. Once you bring multiple images into a project, scale them to size, and position them, how does one go back to either re-scale, or move a prior object. Because the yellow and black lines surround the "last" object brought into the project. Which as long as the emphasis is on the "last" object brought into the project, re-scaling and re-positioning any prior objects are not permitted.

Gimp tools act on the active layer. To chnage the active layer, plenty of ways:

• Open the Layers list (Ctrl-L and click any layer to "activate" it (this shows as a blue hilight).
  
• Use the Move tool () (Tool options should show "Pick a layer or guide"): just click on some non-transparent part of the layer to select it
  
• Use the Layer>Stack submenus (and the associated keyboard shortcuts: PgUp, PgDn, Home, End)
