Delete Selection in Layer Underneath

[Geronantimo]

I have a layer above another that has been positioned very precisely. I would now like to select the upper layer and using that selection, cut (remove) the area of the lower layer which overlaps (or underlaps).

After a frustratingly long time, I have not found the technique - Can anybody help?

Click on the upper layer, and choose "Transparency > Alpha to selection" from the Layer menu. Then, click on the lower layer and select "Clear" from the Edit menu.

That should do it for you.
