LayerEditor: image edits that keep separate layers

Why layers help

RGBA layers store color and transparency. Separating an edited object from its background can make a later move or recomposition possible. The method learns from a teacher editor using both the canvas and the combined layers.

Where editing still breaks

The reported system handles up to ten layers. Thin or transparent boundaries can produce artifacts after rearrangement. Text remains raster imagery, so a layer containing letters is not an editable font object.

What you can do

1. Use the paper’s rearrangement examples to judge whether the output remains useful after a second edit. Open reference ↗

Where the evidence stops

The examples do not establish lossless reconstruction. No model or editor was run.
