                           CREATING AND MANAGING LAYERS IN KRITA


                 Krita uses layers to help you manage different parts of your artwork more easily. Imagine that
                 your artwork is like a stack of papers. Some papers have holes cut in them to show the paper
                 underneath, while others cover up what's below. If you want to change something in your artwork,
                 you just replace one piece of paper instead of redrawing everything.
                 In Krita, layers work like these papers. They can be transparent or solid, bigger or smaller than your
                 whole drawing, and you can stack them on top of each other, name them, and group them together.

                 Using layers gives you more control over your artwork. For example, you can change all the
                 colours in your artwork by working on a separate colour layer. This way, you don't mess up the
                 line art, which stays safe on a layer above the colours. Layers allows you to edit different parts of
                 your artwork without affecting the other.
