gimp
I'm using GIMP to copy some layer out of a PSD file, But the layers are badly named, So I want to select the correct layer by clicking on the item I wanted to copy.
Which tool should I use, And please provide a screenshot.
Another problem is that sometimes you just can't click anywhere on the image since its layered.
Select the layer and copy Ctrl+C or > Edit > Copy, then Select > File > Create > From Clipboard, this creates a new document from the copied layer, or you can just make the layer you want the only thing visible.
Then select > File > Save As... then go down to "Select File Type (By Extension)" just above the help button shown here-
Then start typing png, or scroll down to find "PNG image" , or in the box where it says "All images select that box and go down to "PNG image (*.png)"
You may try also this plugin, Export Layers. I've tested it with png format and it worked. You just select the folder and the format and you get all the layers there, each one in its own file.

Open Gimp preferences by going to "Edit" menu.
In "Preferences" dialog box click on "Tool Options" and enable the "set layer or path as active" option.
Close the "Preferences". Now Click on your desired object and it's layer will be selected automatically. Hare's an example!
