Layers Toolbar




Layer Opacity
At a complete opacity of 100 %, value by default, a layer is totally opaque and any underlying layer is seen by transparency. When you drag the slider to the left to reduce opacity, the underlying layer begins to appear. When the opacity value is 75 %, the image shows 75 % of the upper layer and 25 % of the underlying layer. At an opacity value of 0 %, the layer is transparent and you only see the underlying layer.

Layer Blend Mode
The layer blend modes enable you to combine the pixels of the selected layer with the pixels of underlying layers.
You can experiment with these various modes to obtain the wished result.

Resize as Background
The selected layer is resized with the same dimension as the background.
