I have an animated
.gifopen in GIMP with 48 different layers.In Photoshop I can quickly select and delete layers multiple layers at once, but it seems that this isn’t possible in GIMP.
My current method of deleting layers is right-clicking each layer and deleting each layer individually, but it’s a fairly time-consuming process for multi-layered images.
Is there a quick way to delete multiple layers at once in GIMP?
Answer
If there is a small number of layers you want to keep or delete:
- Make the layers you want to keep invisible (shift-click on the eye icon on any layers toggles the visibility status of all other layers). Depending on relative numbers, hide them all and unhide a few, or unhide them all and hide a few.
Image>Merge visible layers(Ctrl-M)- Delete the resulting layer
- Toggle the visibility of the remaining layers (shift-click eye icon again)
Of course, this method isn’t terribly useful if you have a the same time many layers to delete and many layers to keep (but from personal experience this is rarely the case). This method also works on Paths.
