2811This window displays the layers of the current image. Each layer has a checkbox that determines if it is visible. When a layer is selected, it is possible to change its opacity using the opacity bar under the name of the layer. To rename a layer, simply click on its name.
2912
3013Under the stack is a toolbar. On the first line, a button allows to select the blend mode visually in another window. Otherwise, you can select blend modes that you have already used in a dropdown. The zooming buttons allow to zoom the layer stack for example if you want to see more details in the image.
3114
3215The second line of the toolbar allows to add a new layer, import from a file, duplicate a layer, merge two layers and delete a layer. It also allows to act on a particular layer: to move it, rotate it, transform it into a perspective and flip it horizontally or vertically.
