Grouping layers in Reve moves them together and confines effects

The Reve platform now applies its effects and text prompts to a closed group of layers, without altering the rest of the composition.

Reve's image editor gains an organizational convenience: layer groups. This feature gathers multiple layers into a single group to move and resize them together, rather than handling each element one by one.

The other side of this feature involves effects. A shader, grain, or motion blur applied to a group only affects the layers it contains, leaving the rest of the image intact. The same principle applies to natural language annotations: an instruction addressed to the group only applies to its members. The group thus acts as a mask delimiting the scope of an effect or edit.

At Reve, these layers coexist with regions, the platform's other editing building block. Christian Cantrell, who presents the feature, sees it as bringing a proven concept from traditional editing into an AI-driven editor. Available now.
