It's also now fully loaded with precision controls, snapping, and keyboard shortcuts that make compositing feel native. Batch Node lets you process entire queues of assets in one go. And lots of small upgrades that make your canvas experience feel snappier and more cohesive. 📦 **New** ### Layer Editor v1.0 + v1.1 A full compositing toolkit for combining multiple images into layered compositions, right on your canvas. ### More Less Position, resize, reorder, and lock layers with precision. Export the final composition as a single unified image — no need to leave FLORA for basic compositing work. [Read about the Layer Editor here](https://docs.flora.ai/nodes/layer-editor). ### Batch Node Process multiple assets through a single generation in one run. ### More Less Feed up to 100 images, videos, or text items into a Batch Node and run them all through the same downstream operation simultaneously. Think bulk upscaling, style transfers, or variations — without clicking "generate" a hundred times.

Your workspace, your rules. ### Extract Outputs onto Canvas Unpack a node's full generation history into individual nodes. ### More Less Right-click any node with 2+ completed outputs and select "Extract Outputs onto Canvas." Each output becomes its own node, auto-arranged in a grid next to the source — great for comparing variations or branching your workflow. ### Bulk Download Download all generations from a node as a single ZIP. ### More Less When a node has multiple completed outputs, hit the new download button in the toolbar to grab everything as a neatly named ZIP file. No more downloading one by one. ### Expand Text Node Toggle One click in the toolbar to expand the display dimensions of a text node. ### Layer Editor updates ### Layer Locking Prevent accidental edits to finalized layers. ### More Less Toggle lock on any layer via the context menu. Locked layers can't be moved, resized, or deleted, so your careful positioning stays exactly where you put it. ### Nudge Layer Positions Pixel-perfect placement with arrow keys. ### More Less Arrow keys nudge layers by 1px. Hold Shift to nudge by 10px for faster repositioning. Fine-tune your compositions without touching the mouse. ### Resize & Center Snapping Layers now snap to frame edges and center points during resize, with snapping enabled by default. ### More Less Anchor preservation keeps your opposite edge fixed while you drag. ### More Aspect Ratios Additional aspect ratio options in the Layer Editor. ### More Less Corner handles maintain ratio by default; hold Shift to toggle free-form resizing. ### Better Frame Border Cleaner, more visible frame border in the Layer Editor for easier spatial orientation while compositing. ### Properties Panel Cleanup Reorganized and streamlined with tooltips on every action, so you spend less time hunting for controls. ### Dimension Input Cycling Tab and Shift+Tab now cycle through dimension inputs in the properties panel, committing values as you go. Faster than clicking between fields.
