Blacksburg, VA – Gotow.net is excited to announce the immediate availability of Layers 1.0. Our latest iPhone application opens up a whole new creative space with natural media painting tools and up to five layers in each drawing. Add a layer from a photo to trace your subject, or add multiple layers to separate different parts of your work. Each layer is fully transparent, and a unique 3D interface allows you to create and rearrange them with ease. When you’re finished, you can export your work to a Photoshop file with layers intact, or sync with the desktop viewer to generate a high-resolution copy or replay your brush strokes to show off your talent!
