Image Layer for Blender

I started to develop features for images to create layers 1 in Blender, as in PS and Gimp!! A first implementation was done by KWK (Konrad Kleine) 2 for Gsoc2010.

I have drawn up a roadmap and started raising funds for the development of the Image Layer. The project is divided for a total of 6 phases, where each stage has its budget. Each phase addresses a particular aspect, such as: layer management, operations, etc..
