Option Cut Images

With interpolation, the numbers « 1,2,3 » are mixed in the same image, the numbers « 4,5,6 » in the next, then « 7,8,9 » etc …

It is possible to Shrink a layer to the right by repeating the operation described above with the left tab.

If there are several identical images in your layer (or nearly identical), you can reduce the number of instances with the option Recompute Exposure in the main menu Image.
This option will transform the images of the current layer into heads or exposures cells.

The Recompute Exposure with Threshold option will be explained in another lesson.
