When you add an internal
layer, it includes both a layer front and a layer alpha. When you
add an external layer that only includes the front, a black layer
alpha will automatically be created.
To add an internal layer:
- Click the Add Layer button at the bottom
of the Layer Editor.
To add an external layer:
- Do one of the following:
- Select the Add Layer button at the bottom
of the Layer Editor then connect an input image to the new layer
node's input.
- Drop a composition (or compositions)
containing a rendered result onto the Paint node and select Create
Layer from the drop gate.
NoteThe newly added layer
has the same format as the linked rendered result. The drop gate
is also activated when you drop a tool or files that can be imported.
In that case, the new layer is created using the composition format.
NoteTo rename a layer
node, double-click the Paint tool node. Once inside, select the
raster layer node to rename. In the Tool Options of the node's UI,
type the new name in the Name field and press Enter.
