Handbook › Layers

Group opacity and blend modes

A group of layers can have its own opacity and its own blend mode, so you can fade a whole character, or lay a group of shading over the picture in Multiply, in one move.

How to do it

In Layers, tap Select, pick the layers, and tap Group.
Tap the group, then tap it again to open its options.
Choose Opacity… and drag the slider.
Choose Blend Mode: Pass Through, or a mode under Isolated.

Settings

Pass Through: The group's layers blend with everything below them, each by its own mode, as if they weren't grouped.
Isolated: The group is composited as one image first, then blended by the mode you pick.
Opacity…: Fades the whole group.
Filters: A group can carry live filters too, which keeps it isolated.

Tips

Select several layers to set their opacity, blend and label at once, in one step.
