Getting started with layers

A layer is an object that serves as a container for image data. You can use layers to build an image one

element at a time. This allows you to modify and manipulate the content of a layer independently of other

layers and the canvas. Likewise, you can work on the canvas without interfering with any of the other

layers. For example, if you introduced an element to an image by using a layer and you don’t like the result,

you don’t have to clear the entire canvas — just modify or remove the affected layer.

When you add content, such as brushstrokes to a layer, the areas of the layer that have no content are

transparent. This allows you to see the content of layers below and the canvas. In Corel Painter, you can

control the behavior of layer transparency. For more information, see “Preserving layer transparency” on

page 541.
