If you want to use layers, you have to set up an effect first. This effect will automatically
be handled as one, single layer. That means that each effect is also a layer at the same
time.
While the usage of one layer allows for the selection of only one effect, the utilization of multiple
layers, which are stacked on top of each other, can alter the displayed effects and images
massively. In this way, you can use layers in MADRIX to compose your own original effects. A
layer can be modified in various ways, such as setting the opacity or using the link or mix modes.
Layers dramatically increase the usability and flexibility of an experienced user.
The layer section can be found at the bottom of each Effect Area. Layers are illustrated in
MADRIX with the help of tabs. Layer 1 will always be located to the left of an Effect Area. If you
are using more than one layer, you will see several tabs. MADRIX supports an unlimited number of
layers. (The actual number of layers available for use depends on your computer performance and
matrix size.)

The order of layers can be easily changed. You can move a layer to the
left and to the right by simply clicking on the arrows of an active layer
tab. Then, the layer will change its position an move in the according
direction.
