Each time you create a new project in Photonyx, the image consists in only one level called background. You can paint and apply all the effects you want to this background, but you can also add other objects to your project.
Doing that you create a multi-level image. Objects let you edit specific areas of your image without affecting any other data. You can draw, edit, paste, use masks as you normaly do with the main image (the background) but objects give you many more editing possibilities and the opportunity to experiment.
Experiment freely with different combinations of graphics, type, special effects, opacities, and blending modes. Until you are ready with experiments each object remains independant of the others in the project. While you work you can merge visible objects or all (that is flattenning the image).
Introduction on the concept of objects
We strongly advise you to
keep a copy of the multi-level project when you've finished your work on it. Imagine you
afterwareds want to change a specific detail in the color of an object in your image !
Impossible if you've merged all the objects. So always keep a full copy of your projects
taking care to preserve all the objects independantly.
