Rather than deleting what I’ve selected, other options are available in the toolbar to replace, add, subtract, intersect, or invert. I fill the layer with the color, select the portion of the screen I want to peek through, and delete the selected area of the layer (as seen in the image above).

I use this tool to create a gray overlay with 125 opacity as part of beautifying images for tutorials. You can see the individual layers, move them, disable them, copy them, etc., in the layers tool to the right of the screen. The Layers menu includes tools to add a new layer, duplicate a layer, merge, import, flip, rotate, zoom, etc.

You can copy the resize value to paste into the field, but batch resizing would be a better choice. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do batch resizing. Resize by percentage or enter a pixel size. The resize menu lets you resample the image for best quality, bicubic, bilinear, and nearest neighbor. Image includes size and rotation options. Here I’ve opened the image pack for the Interior Design layout pack. The View menu includes zoom, grid, rulers, and options. Edit adds a feature to paste into a new layer or new image. File and Edit include the tools you’d expect. The menu looks like a standard Windows app from before the Microsoft Ribbon design.

Each of the tools can be moved around or closed. This is the workspace after the app loads.
