What is Gimp's equivalent of "Clip to Layer Below"? - abvieon - 11-02-2022
Hi, I'm brand new to using Gimp. Before this I mainly used Clip Studio Paint, which has a feature called clip to layer below. It allows you to make a layer you can clip to another layer, anything you draw on the clipped layer will only show up on the layer underneath. It's useful if you want to change your lineart to a different color, for example. Does Gimp have anything that allows me to do this?

Create a layer group, move the 2 layers into it and set the top layer's Composite mode to Clip to backdrop.
