Layers are drawing surfaces stacked one on top of the other.


The layers are transparent by default and are positioned over the paper. An area of ​​one layer below another is visible by transparency, provided that the layer above does not overshadows this area.


You can change the opacity of a layer to reveal layers below it.


Layers are displayed by default to the left of the drawing area, from the highest layer to the lowest layer.


To select a layer, click the thumbnail of the layer. When a layer is selected, drawing operations and effects are applied to that layer.


If the window is not large enough to display all the layers you can move around the list.


To scroll through the list of layers:

Position the mouse over the layer display area

Drag and drop to the top or bottom

Or turn the mouse wheel
