: What is the method of cutting and stitching a set of images to together with Gimp? I want to cut a cut and paste sections from different images and join them together in one rectangular image,

@Smith574

This question would be easier to answer with an example or what specific issues you are having.

Here are a few general techniques:


Use layers instead of copy and paste. You can use File > Open as layers to open individual files into their own layer instead of copying/pasting. You can select multiple files to do this at once.
Use Image > Canvas Size to make the canvas area larger than the layers. Make sure you select to resize all the layers too. I usually double the size of the canvas and center it so there's room to work.
Use layer groups to keep your layers organized
Avoid merging layers unless you have to
Use Image > Autocrop to make the canvas fit correctly and trip off excess canvas.

You can use different layers and later merge them in to a single flatten image layer. In GIMP we can insert different images into individual layers by which we can scale,re size,re position the respective images. Later,select all the layers you want to be a single layer->Right click & select merge. This makes different layers combined in to a new merged layer. Export them as .jpg, .png etc
