Want to be a contributor for krita software

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Rishab,

Layers are components of an image. Imagine a set of glass panes, with an 
painting on each pane, stacked, then lit from behind. The contents of the 
panes will look like they're one image. That's what layers do in 
applications like Krita and Photoshop.

Take a look at commit c7547e4d440fdc361ebc2020225a116bc80ffa06 -- that 
adds the flatten_image action to the layerbox context menu. You can add 
the latten_layer action in the same way...
