- A floating selection (sometimes called a <quote>floating layer</quote>)
- is a type of temporary layer which is similar in function to a
- normal layer, except that a floating selection must be anchored
- before you can resume working on any other layers in the image. You
- can use various operations to change the image data on the floating
- selection. There can only be one floating selection in an image at a
- time.
- </para>
- <para><!--TODO es ko zh_CN-->
- You can anchor a floating selection in various ways. First, you can
- create a <link linkend="gimp-layer-new">New layer</link>. If
- you create a new layer while there is a floating selection, the
- floating selection is anchored to it. Second, you can anchor the
- floating selection to the current layer, the selection is
- originating from. To do this, click anywhere on the image except
- on the floating selection. This merges the floating selection with
- the current layer. You can also anchor the floating selection to
- the current layer by clicking on the anchor button of the Layers
- dialog or using the
- <link linkend="gimp-layer-anchor">Anchor layer</link> command
- (<keycombo moreinfo="none"><keycap moreinfo="none">Ctrl</keycap><keycap moreinfo="none">H</keycap></keycombo>).
- </para>
- <para>
- There are also various ways to create a floating selection. The
- first is to convert an existing selection into a floating selection
- with the <link linkend="gimp-selection-float">Float</link> command.
- The <quote>paste</quote> operations,
- <link linkend="gimp-buffer-dialog">Paste Named Buffer</link>,
- <link linkend="gimp-edit-paste">Paste</link> or
- <link linkend="gimp-edit-paste-into">Paste Into</link>, also

- <link linkend="gimp-tool-shear">Shear</link>,
- <link linkend="gimp-tool-scale">Scale</link>,
- <link linkend="gimp-tool-rotate">Rotate</link> and
- <link linkend="gimp-tool-perspective">Perspective</link>,
- create a floating selection when they are used on a selection,
- rather than a layer. When the <guilabel moreinfo="none">Affect</guilabel> mode is
- <emphasis>Transform Layer</emphasis> and a selection already exists,
- these tools transform the selection and create a floating selection
- with the result. If a selection does not exist, they transform the
- current layer and do not create a floating selection. (If the
- <guilabel moreinfo="none">Affect</guilabel> mode is
- <emphasis>Transform Selection</emphasis>, they also do not create a
- floating selection.) You can also create a floating selection by
