(a) Clear Layer button (b) Selected layer to clear
The layer is deleted.
Wiping Layers
Wipe a layer when you want to apply a uniform color. For example, you can
wipe the color of the bottom layer in the Layers list to change the background
color.
NOTE Any strokes that have been applied will not be maintained when you apply
a wipe.
To wipe a layer with a color:
1 Select the layer from the Layers list. Select either the Front or the Alpha
input to wipe.
2 Pick the wipe color by clicking the color pot next to the Wipe button—see
Color Picker on page 154.
3 Select the Wipe button to apply the color to the layer Front or layer Alpha,
depending on which one is currently selected.
Layer Behavior
Raster layer behavior is constrained based on the alpha of the layer being
manipulated. The dependency graph shown in following image displays a
Paint tool node consisting of one external raster layer named Raster Layer.
