Sharing layers
When we talk about exporting artwork, we usually think of the composite image consisting of all the visible layers. However, there are many ways to export individual layers, a few selected layers, or take separate layers into account while exporting. There are two ways to do this, as we will discuss in the following sections.
Drag and drop export
This feature allows you to drag and drop a selected layer(s) directly into any compatible destination without having to close your canvas. This method works while exporting to another Procreate canvas, Files, Photos, iCloud, and so forth.
This can be done using the following steps:
- Activate Split View. To learn about how Split View works, refer to Chapter 1, The Gallery: Organizing Your Files. Make sure you have both Procreate and your export location open in the two windows.
- From the Layers panel, press and hold a layer to pick it up, and then drag it over to the destination screen.
- Release the layer...
