Why you're passing LayerInfo pointer to PrepareLayer() function if you're
creating new one? It doesn't make sense...

I'm assuming that your code for disposing layers looks like:

void CleanupLayer( struct Layer *layer )
{
struct BitMap *bitmap;
struct Layer_Info *layerinfo;

if( layer )
{
bitmap = layer->rp->BitMap;
layerinfo = layer->LayerInfo;
WaitBlit();
DeleteLayer( NULL, layer );
FreeBitMap( bitmap );
DisposeLayerInfo( layerinfo );
}
}

It should work... Maybe bug is inside your rendering functions... Please send
attached executable to your betatesters and ask them is everything ok (no
"jerky" pointers etc.)

So you know that it's quite easy and it's faster than layers.library...

Can your ImageFX paint like bitmap painters?
