When editing Product Catalog images, you can open an image in the main editor. This gives you access to additional features that are not available in the Product Catalog Editor, such as:
Adding text layers
Adding graphic layers
Editing layers
The layers are only available for editing in certain circumstances, which are explained in the sections below.
When layers are available
When you open a Product Catalog image in the main editor, the image includes at least two base layers:
Background layer
Product layer
Any content you add in the main editor, such as text, graphics, or additional images, is created as a new, separate layer. You can edit these layers independently.
When layers become unavailable
Layers become unavailable when:
You exit the main editor and return to the Product Catalog Editor
You publish the Product Catalog image to Shopify
When this happens, Photoroom flattens the image back into:
A background layer
A product or object layer
At this point, any additional layers such as text or graphics are no longer editable separately.
