Alpha-lock

Artwork by @manytle

To toggle the alpha lock of a layer, activate the contextual menu, then select Alpha lock.

When a layer is alpha-locked, there will be a lock icon to the right of its name, we can tap this to unlock it.

Blend mode

To set the blend mode of a layer, activate the contextual menu, select Blend mode, and then select the desired mode.

Masking

To set the masking property of a layer, activate the contextual menu, select Masking, and then select the type of desired masking.

If the selected layer is already a mask layer, selecting Masking will remove the masking property and make that layer a regular layer again.

Layer merge

Layers can be merged into a single layer. To merge 2 or more layers, select at least 2 layers, the contextual menu will show up automatically with the option Merge, select it, and you're done.

Content copy/cut

Along with the layer contextual menu, a clipboard contextual menu will also appear at the bottom with 2 options: Copy and Cut.

If there is no active selection, these options will act on the entire content of the selected layer.
