5.1.2 Create a New Project
When creating a project, you import image layers and optionally thematic layers into a
new project. You can rearrange the image layers, select a subset of the image or modify
the project default settings. In addition, you can add metadata.
An image file contains one or more image layers. For example, an RGB image file
contains three image layers, which are displayed through the Red, Green and Blue
channels (layers).
