"Err...when I duplicate the layer and flip it, the previous layer flips too...[the one we duplicated] what do i do ? "
I too had that problem, then I realized what I was doing. You are going to Image>Transform>Flip Hor.
That's not the correct way to do it. Instead, use the Flip Tool on the Gimp Tool Panel...
Hope this helps!
Anyways, Gimper, I just downloaded Gimp a few days ago, and you have been absoloutely amazing!
I have taken many of your ideas and played around with them and have gotten lots of really cool results.
Look forward to more from you!
