The Layer Editor lets you create layers and reorder them. For each layer, you can apply a blending mode and set the opacity to define how it is blended with the layer below it. You can also mute layers or use them in reveal operations. The current layer indicates which layer is being drawn into. From the current layer, you can also select either the front or the alpha as the target.
