Agave [alpha 3]

'Layer Player' Module
This new module is a layer-based creative image builder. Import and customize up to 8 different image layers. Modify layer basics like scale, opacity, rotation and color. You can also create 'live' action parallax scenes and animations on the fly without any editing experience using the layer link feature and simple move modifiers.

Experimenting with the Layer Player can give you interesting new results and let you see how images can interact. You can save the output using your own screen capture software or use the built in screenshot and cropped capture features.

Known Issues
Setting custom application links in the Ubuntu build is not 100%. It can open Ubuntu image viewer (eye of gnome) but further testing is needed with other Ubuntu Linux image software.

Opening/viewing some GIF files may crash Agave. If this happens you can either remove the GIF file from the current Browser folder and reload the Browser, OR, 'Reset Settings' on the Main Menu and avoid the problem GIF(s) - this second option will reset all your user settings.

Loading extremely large images [300MB+] or thousands of large images at a time could cause Agave to become unstable.
