Scenes

A scene is a canvas with a stack of layers, and it is the reason Monet exists. You set the canvas size and a background colour, which can be transparent if you want the exported PNG to have an alpha channel.

Layers come from three places:

• Image layers point at a picture from your library or one you uploaded.
• Generate layers hold a prompt, a model, its settings and reference images, and produce their image on demand.
• Flow layers point at a flow, and show whatever its most recent run produced.

Click a layer to select it, on the canvas or in the layer list, and Shift-click to add more to the selection. Right-clicking the selection opens a menu with Group: a group is a collapsible, renamable folder in the list, and on the canvas its layers drag as a unit. Ungroup dissolves it again.

While you drag a layer, alignment guides appear and snap it to the canvas edges and to the edges and centres of the other layers. On macOS you can turn this off under View → Snap to Guides, and the choice is remembered.

Zoom runs from 25% to 400% through the presets, with Fit to screen and a reset to 100%. For finer control, hold Option, ⌘ or Ctrl and scroll — or pinch on a trackpad — to zoom between 10% and 500%, anchored on the point under the pointer. However far you zoom, the selection keeps its name label and its outline and handles the same size on screen.

The editor keeps a full undo history: ⌘Z on macOS or Ctrl+Z on Windows undoes the last change, and ⇧⌘Z on macOS or Ctrl+Y on Windows redoes it. The arrow keys nudge the selection by a pixel, or by ten with Shift. The rest is in keyboard shortcuts.

What each layer can do is covered in layers and properties, and the part that matters most is regenerating an asset.
