Layers and colors

Layers and colors

Organize artwork in layers and use RGB, grayscale or indexed color. Import palettes, generate colors from an image, and adjust hue, brightness or color curves.

Where to start

  • Select a layer in the layer list to work on that part of your image.
  • Choose RGB, grayscale or indexed color under Sprite → Color Mode. Import a palette or generate one from an image.
  • Use Edit → Adjustments for brightness, hue or color curves, and Select → Color Range to select a color.

Using and saving

Layers organize the artwork, while color mode determines how colors are represented. Save as .aseprite to keep this editing information.
