Layers

Using layers, you can construct an image of several conceptual parts which can be manipulated without affecting any other part of the image. Layers are stacked on top of each other.
The Layers Dialog is the main interface to interact with Layers present in a paintstar image. Paintstar gives you 26 methods of combining layers with help of modes. The mode of a layer will determine how it will interact with other layers present in the image.
Right clicking on the active layer thumb you will be able to access the layer menu. Within the layer menu you have access to several other layer commands.
Notes:The background layer does not support alpha.

Delete Layer

Duplicate Layer
Creates a copy of the active layer and places it above the copied layer.
