Hello Creators! Another month of development and flown by and we’re excited to share our updates with you.

Our focus for May was around building a better user experience on Layer, making it easier and more intuitive to create and manage assets on our platform. To this end, we’ve made changes to our user interface, ability to access and edit previously generated images, and guides for artists new to Layer. On top of that, we added a new strategic advisor to help scale our product development, and a new case study to see Layer in action.

Platform Updates ⚙️

Improvements and changes to the Layer platform.

Forge sessions to help creators access past work — now organized as ‘sessions’. These sessions work for both individuals and teams.

• If you’re part of a team, you can now view teammates workspaces and forges.
• Pass the baton — access teammates edited generations and resume work from where they left off.
• Managing assets got a lot easier — you can now batch select, download, upscale and export assets to your library
• Save for later — you can now “Like” assets and access them later in the favorites section

With Multiforge support you can have multiple concurrent forges happening simultaneously “This is getting out of hand! Now, there are two of them!”

Starter styles got a new coat of paint and upgraded to higher quality.
