You are of course, welcome.  While it is nice to know that I was able to 
help in some small way, having never actually done the operations you 
had in mind, I found the comments by Steve to be more detailed and 
accurate, and most informative and interesting.  With a thank you to you 
for asking the question, and to Steve for his answer, my use of Gimp has 
been expanded too.
