Using layers brings a host of benefits to your creative process. Layers provide a structured and organized way to work on different elements of your design or project. They allow you to isolate and manipulate individual components without affecting the rest of the composition, enabling precise adjustments and edits.
This flexibility also facilitates experimentation, as you can easily try out different visual elements and arrangements.
Layers offer a non-destructive workflow, preserving your original content while allowing you to enhance, refine, or modify specific aspects. Additionally, layers enable efficient collaboration and version control, making it simpler to share your work with others and keep track of changes. Overall, leveraging layers empowers you to achieve a higher level of control, creativity, and professionalism in your design endeavors.
And if you want to dive deeper, be sure to check out our Layers, Settings, and Variants section for advanced information on how to work with layers and create variants for scene setups and much more. Let’s get started!
