Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) including an illustration can be rendered. In response to receiving a signal from an input device indicating a location within the illustration, a layer can be defined. When the layer is applied to the illustration, the GUI can be updated such that a portion of the illustration under a filter is displayed as an altered feature. The filter can overlay the indicated location. In some embodiments, another portion of the illustration different from indicated location may not be filtered. Similarly stated, only a portion of the layer can include the filter and/or the layer may not overlay the entire illustration. A signal can be received from the input device indicating a use of the tool on the layer and, in response, the altered feature can be modified.
