[Gimp-user] save layer as file

[Helen]

-I thought that with Gimp, one could save a layer as a new file, new
picture.
But when I click on the layer that I want to save as a separate picture, I
don't
see that option.

I went googling for this before asking here, and I found a place that says
you can add
a plugin for this, but I don't know how to add plugins.

So, do you knkow of a way I can just take a layer and turn it into a
separate file?

I'm using Gimp 2.2.10, and have already ordered SuSE 11, which will come
with
the latest gimp.

Thanks much for any advice.
