A method of compositing a set of ordered image layers in which a compound layer contains a plurality of image layers. The compound layer has a compound layer effect. Any image layers under the compound layer are composited to generate a first intermediate image, the first intermediate image is composited with each image layer in the compound layer to generate a second intermediate image, the first intermediate image is composited with the second intermediate image according to the compound layer effect to generate a third intermediate image, and the third intermediate image is composited with any remaining image layers to generate a final image.
