   I just need a way to click on the image in the background layer and resize it to match the size of the image in the foreground layer. Why is this so hard to figure out how to do? I need to look it up online, which already seems like a fail for such a simple task, and when I do I get to the official GIMP docs that tells me there's a tool called "crop and resize", which there is not! There's a tool called "crop", but I can't see any resize feature there. #GIMP #UX #WTF

     @johkra Thanks! That did help somewhat, although I still can't just resize it by hand, but have to actually know the size in pixels and then move the result to where I want it afterwards, which is really annoying. Thanks anyway! But now the tutorial I'm using to get a fade effect between the two isn't working, so… >:(

     @johkra Ok, that was what I was looking for. Thanks! It's called Scale, though.

     Still, all of this is to no use if I can't get gradient, or some other way of fading, to work.

     There is also a resize tool in the tools menu on the upper left

     @johkra That's what I did, pr the tutorial I was following, but there was no fading, only directly going from one pic to the other. But I clicked around and figured it out now, kinda. Not happy with the result, but I'm tired of this now, so it'll have to do. This was a bad experience, but you helped a lot, so thank you again!

     @forteller for fading:

     1.Apply a mask to the layer
     2.Then aktivate the mask layer (right of the layer).
     3. Apply gradient
