Regular layer's operations

New empty layer(s)

Use the New Layer button to create a new layer(s)

  • If we have only 1 selected layer, the new layer will be placed on top of the currently selected layer.

  • If we have multiple selected layers, a new empty layer will be placed on top of each selected layer.

  • If a folder is selected, a new empty layer will be added to the top of that folder's children.

Duplicate layer(s)

Use the Duplicate Layer button to duplicate selected layer(s).

  • If we have only 1 selected layer, the duplicate layer will be placed on top of the currently selected layer.

  • If we have multiple selected layers, a duplicate layer of each selected layer will be placed on top of them.

Alpha-lock

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.

If a layer has masks, the merge option will be available even if only 1 layer is selected in the contextual menu. Performing a merge for this layer will merge the masks into the main layer.

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.
