Why Procreate limits the number of maximum <strong>layers<\/strong> Procreate limits the number of layers based on a few criteria: The amount of RAM in your particular iPad. The size of your canvas, and DPI (Dots Per Inch).<\/p>\n<p>Correspondingly, how do you ungroup layers in Procreate? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MwojUkWTvcQ\"><\/iframe>Select the contents of a layer. In the Layers panel, tap a layer to bring up Layer Options, then tap Select. As a shortcut, hold two fingers on a layer to select it.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I resize multiple layers in Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bC-w5M_bT0c\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does Procreate have a frame limit?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate limits the number of animation frames based on the resolution, but the default Square canvas (2048 x 2048 pixels) gives us 124 frames to work with, which is more than enough for a short animation. For something longer, you&#8217;d have to work at a lower resolution or in batches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I change layers in procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To Move a Layer, Tap and Hold, and then Drag the Layer to the desired order.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How much RAM do you need for procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Historically apps running on iPad were limited in RAM due to a reserve needed for background apps and tasks, so when Apple opened up more RAM to developers this month it was a big deal. For Procreate this means a significant boost in extra layers for iPads with 8GB RAM or more .\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the largest canvas on procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The max canvas size is also the same (8192&#215;4096) but without the 8K limit. You can increase dimensions in the same MP limit. For example, a canvas of 16,384 x 2,048 pixels would work. There&#8217;s a max of 2 layers at maximum canvas size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you Unmerge layers Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When you merge layers in Procreate, you can only unmerge them by immediately using the undo feature. If you wait too long or close your design, your merged layers will be permanent and you won&#8217;t be able to unmerge them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you separate layers in Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XJM53XadfEE\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you group layers in Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When you select multiple layers, you will see the Group option appear on the top right of the Layers panel.
