Im a total noob with anything other than pain... so i need some help

So im trying to resize an image. And like I made the canvas bigger to fit the dimensions. I then select a part of the pic and resize it to fit into the larger canvas. The thing is, this fucking checkerboard canvas background is opaque or soemthing and on the top layer??? I cant see my pic over this fucking checkerboard lol.

I read the title and first line... completely different than what you're actually asking.

Can you be a bit more specific about the problem, though?

haha that was supposed to be paint :0

Anyways... I have this image thats 1200 x 800 or whatever. I want to make it 1366 x 768 or so. Anyways I was able to increase the canvas size to 1366. I then selected a portion of the image to stretch it out to fit the canvas. But the canvas has this checkerboard shit. I cannot see the part of my resized image that is on top of that checkerbaord part.

Actually.. i might just go do this in paint. :/ tried to learn something new but this shit is not very intuitive lol

it's because gimp works in layers, so even though your canvas size is now 1366 x 768, your image is on a separate layer with size 1200 x 800
there should be a dotted line on the canvas that indicates the size of the layer you currently have selected in the layers window
it makes a lot more sense if you've used photoshop or something similar before

anyways easy solution is to just go to images -> scale image instead of images -> canvas size and setting the image size to whatever

yo r u still in the phillipines let's play bw sometime or something
i've been thinking about playing dnf too so i can remember why it was terrible and i quit

that shit literally made zero sense to me lol.

anyways its been a while eh? im still in this godawful country yea... My internet is slow as fuck (shared by the floor) so i cant barely play on bnet once a year or something witout getting dced every game.

I cant log on to dnf cus of ip block... i actually tried couple months ago. Oh and you quit cus your battlemage was so bad at pvp lollll. Oh those were good times.

haha it's kinda complicated, i took a couple classes out of interest a while back, tho they were a bit boring tbh

yea i haven't seen u in a while man, when r u getting out of the phillipines?
i guess it's only been a year or two so far, bad internet sux tho

man all i remember was that dnf was really fun, i don't remember why i quit
maybe it was too grindy or something? but the level cap was really low so idk if that actually mattered
yo battlemages need way too many levels and items and i couldn't afford the +attackspeed stuff
i wanna start again since i heard they removed fatigue and useful avatars are cheaper since they're no longer random

I came into this with a radically different set of expectations.

I thought it was going to be something like....'Just exactly HOW DOES one get into one of these un-aided?

Combine that with the very first line of his post:
