Using layers

Layers are a great way to make local adjustements to an image.

Open the "Layers" panel and choose the  icon to add a new layer.

Choose one of the layer types from the list:

  • Gradient: A gradient layer. Good for doing large-area adjustments like changing the sky in a landscape image
  • Circular Gradient: An ellipse layer. Good for effects like vignette or adjusting skin tones
  • Brush: A layer which allows you to draw several points. Good for more complex structures.
  • Lasso: A layer which allows you to draw an outline: Good for more complex structures or masking.
  • Threshold: Allows you to select a source color. All areas with the same color will be affected. Good for color keying or other effects.

After the layer is added, you will see several adjustment options below.

To delete a layer, select the layer from the list and use the  icon.
