[Gimp-user] New Layer from Cut

2017-07-24 Thread dolphy
I'm learning GIMP via a tutorial on lynda.com & the video includes an example of
creating a new layer via a selected shape using New Layer from Cut. I'm running
GIMP 2.8.18 & there's no such menu option. I assume it's in a previous version
of GIMP & has been turned into something else. Does anyone know the command I
need to do this?

Thanks.
