Operators¶
The Layer Editor in Black Ink uses a nodal system, providing both non-destructive functionality and considerable flexibility for creations.
To compose an image, various operators are available and organized into six families: Output, Source, Adjustment, Mix, Effects, and Transformation.
Here is a list of the operators available in Black Ink:
