When drawing, separating layers for each part of the picture not only makes it easier for you to make adjustments and corrections later, but also improves work efficiency. At the same time, however, as the number of layers increases, it becomes more difficult to know which layer contains what, which in turn can lead to a loss of work efficiency. If there are way too many layers, it is a good idea to organize the layers into folders by part. For example, by separating the hair, face, body, and background of the character you are drawing into separate folders, you can easily manage the layers and improve your work efficiency.
When adding a folder, it is a good idea to pre-select the layer (or folders) that you want to put in the folder. If you select a layer and then add another folder, the new folder will appear right above the selected layer, making it easier to work with.
Let's start by opening①Layer window and selecting a ②layer to put in the folder.
Go to ①Add Special Layer, and select ②Add Folder.
A folder has been added.
Swipe the layer's ①Reorder handle to the right to put the layer into a folder. To get a layer out of a folder, swipe the Reorder Handle to the left.
The only layer you can put into a folder by swiping right is the layer just below the folder. You can NOT, for instance, put the layer right above or the two layers below the folder into the folder by swiping right.
①When layer is above the folder …✕ You cannot place it in the folder by swiping right
②When layer is just below the folder…◯ You can place it in the folder by swiping right
①When layer is two folders below…✕ You cannot place it in the folder by swiping right
②When layer is just below the folder…◯ You can place it in the folder by swiping right
If you want to put the layer that is above the folder into the folder, move the layer to just below the folder.
The only layer that can be moved out of a folder by swiping left is the bottom layer in the folder. To move a layer out of a folder, move it to the bottom of the folder and then swipe left or move it to the top of the folder.
①When layer is at the top of the folder…✕ You cannot remove it from the folder by swiping left
②When layer is at the bottom of the folder…◯ You can remove it from the folder by swiping left
To close an open folder, tap the folder’s ①thumbnail. To open the folder you have closed, tap the thumbnail again.
To change the name of the folder, select②Rename Folder from the ①Menu. When you have finished entering the name, tap ③OK.
