What is the process to add a downloaded image into your current project in Pixlr?

In Pixlr, to add a downloaded image to your current project, the appropriate method is to navigate to the 'Layer' menu and select 'Add image as layer.' This process is specifically designed to incorporate additional images into an existing project while maintaining the original layers, allowing for a flexible editing experience.

By using the 'Add image as layer' option, users can choose an image file from their computer to overlay or incorporate into the current composition. This feature emphasizes how layers work in graphic design, enabling the user to manipulate each image layer independently, apply effects, or adjust their position as needed.

The other options do not align with the functionality required for adding an image to a project. For instance, 'Import' might suggest bringing external files into the application, but it’s not the correct terminology for adding an image layer directly in Pixlr. 'Paste' implies that the image has already been copied to the clipboard, which is not always applicable when using downloaded images directly from files. Finally, 'Merge layers' is a function that combines existing layers, rather than introducing a new one, and does not serve the purpose of adding a new image to the project.
