The “Merge Visible Layers” Dialog
Final, Merged Layer should be:
Visible layers are the layers which are marked with an
“eye” icon in the Layers dialog.
Expanded as necessary:
The final layer is large enough to contain all of the
merged layers. Please note that a layer in
GIMP can be larger than the
image.
Clipped to image:
The final layer is the same size as the image. Remember
that layers in GIMP can be
larger than the image itself. Any layers in the image that
are larger than the image are clipped by this option.
Clipped to bottom layer:
The final layer is the same size as the bottom layer. If
the bottom layer is smaller than some of the visible layers,
the final layer is clipped and trimmed to the size and
position of the bottom layer.
