PhotoStrike

Raster images and layered documents

Make an image you can keep changing.

Bring raster artwork, paint controls and an editable layer stack into one desktop workspace. Keep a layered master for the next revision, then export a flat PNG when the image is ready to share.

What you
can do.

Build around the canvas

Open an image and work beside its layer stack, color picker and document controls in one window.

Leave the lettering editable

Add type layers above the artwork so a title or caption can remain separate from the underlying image.

Save a master. Share a PNG.

Keep the layer assets in a .pstrike document, reopen it for another pass, and create a flat PNG export for use elsewhere.
