Frequently Asked Questions

What is Layer Mix?

Layer Mix blends a texture or secondary image over your media based on brightness values, similar to Photoshop blend techniques.

How does the blending work?

You choose which image drives the blend and set a lightness cutoff to reveal highlights, midtones, or shadows.

Can I use my own textures?

Yes. You can upload custom textures like paper scans, film dirt, ink, or noise patterns.

Does it work on videos?

Yes. Layer Mix works in real time on both images and videos.

Can I combine it with other effects?

Absolutely. It pairs especially well with blur, grain, color grading, and distortion effects.
