CHAPTER 3: An Introduction to the Android Application Development Platform 89- Click on your Transparency layer on the left, which will select it (the layer will
turn blue), if it is not selected already. You need to select this layer in order
to paste the selected and copied logo above it. This is because the paste
operation puts data above a currently selected layer, and not below it. If you
left the original graphic layer selected, and then pasted, your transparency
would be above your logo data, and not underneath it! - Next, hit the Ctrl+V keystroke combination, to paste the pixel data from the
clipboard, or you can access the Edit menu and the Paste menu option,
if you prefer a more visual work process. To see your logo on top of the
transparency, you will need to click on the Eye Icon (turns a layer visibility on
or off) next to the original MindTaffyLogoAndroidGreen.gif layer at the bottom
of the layer stack. Once you do this, all that will be showing in your primary
GIMP preview area on the right is the Transparency layer that you created
earlier and the floating selection (the logo-only pixels that were copied from
the clipboard memory) that you just pasted into the floating selection layer.
The results of this work process are shown in Figure 3-14.
Figure 3-13. Use the Edit ➤ Copy menu sequence to copy the selected logo pixels to the system clipboard
