Layer system!

Mangaka! 4 features a powerful layer system, based on Cryptomatte technology, that gives you complete control over the manga-style look of your illustrations. This layer system allows you to make adjustments on a "per asset" basis, giving you the flexibility to create the exact look you want for each element of your illustration.

With the layer system, you can make specific adjustments to the manga-style settings for each individual asset in your scene, such as changing the line width, color, and more. This allows you to create a cohesive and polished final product, with each element of your illustration perfectly tailored to your desired manga-style.




And tons of other features!
