Hello group,

in photoshop i can create layers to ex. change the colors of the
background-image or to sharpen this image.
Now im looking for this function in gimp. can i create layers to adjust
a background-image?

Nope, Gimp doesn't do this (yet).

GIMP does not have adjustment layers, if those are what you mean.

A few things may be possible by judiciously applying layer modes. See
the Help files for more information about these.

That was not the question. if i use this menu, i change the
bakground-image. My question was to use a layer to adjust the background
without changing it.

You can create a layermask above the background and change the
layermask. (I don't use photoshop, So I may not understand what you say.)
