This allows for creating or editing multi-layered files, including raw files, and keeping non-destructive settings for each photo layer. Instead, the power of layers is accessible within the non-destructive workflow in the new Edit module. These include Develop, Effects, Portrait, and Local Adjustments tabs.Ī New Workflow for Layers – ON1 Layers is no longer a separate module.
