38 Layers and Masks

To add one or more layers to a Layer Group:

Select the layer(s) you want to add to the group and drag onto the group

name (a red line indicates where the layer is to be placed). The layer(s) will

then appear indented under the group.

Alternatively, you can select multiple layers and add them to a new unnamed

group by selecting either New Layer Group from Selected Layers or Group

Layers on the Layers menu.

To remove a layer:

To remove the layer(s), drag the layer away from the group and drop it into

an ungrouped area of the Layers tab. You can also use Ungroup Layers

from the Layers menu if all layers are to be removed.

To merge a Layer Group:

To flatten the layer group, select the group and choose Merge>Merge Layer

Group from the Layers menu.

You cannot move the Background layer to a group.

Using blend modes

You can think of blend modes as different rules for putting pixels together to

create a resulting color. In PhotoPlus, you'll encounter blend modes in several

contexts:

As a property of individual tools, the tool's blend mode

determines what happens if you use the tool to apply a new

color pixel on top of an existing color pixel. Note that once

you've applied paint to a region, that's it—you've changed the

color of pixels there. Subsequently changing a tool's blend

mode won't alter brush strokes you've already laid down!

Behind and Clear modes are only available for tools and

not for layers.
