Image layers

Image layers retain all of the data from the original image, which remains intact when the document is exported.

An image layer has a container which retains the placed image's original colour space, resolution and physical dimensions (when placed at native resolution).

Image layers can be recoloured much like an opened image or a pixel layer. If an image layer is drawn on, the layer will be rasterised and will adopt pixel layer properties. Rasterisation is required to convert the image to the document's colour space.

To create an image layer by placing content:

On the Photo Persona, open the Commands Menu and tap Place.
On the pop-up menu, tap Place from Photos or Place from Cloud. Use the latter to access local storage via the On My iPad location.
Navigate to, select, then tap your image file.
Do one of the following:
- Tap to place the content at its native size.
- Drag on the page to set the size and position of the content.

To convert an image layer to a pixel layer:

Do one of the following:

Select the Paint Brush Tool or another brush-based tool and paint on the layer.
On the Layers Studio, with the image layer selected, choose Rasterise from the Merge and Rasterise pop-up menu.
