Composite Layers
Combine multiple images in a single node
Composite Layers
Combine multiple images in a single node
Overview
The Composite node combines multiple image layers onto a base layer with individual positioning for each. Layer 0 is the base (determines output size), and subsequent layers are drawn on top in order. More efficient than chaining multiple Merge nodes.
Usage Tips
- Layer 0 (base) determines the final output dimensions
- Position each layer using coordinates or presets like “center”, “top-right”
- Layers are drawn in order: layer 0, then 1, then 2, etc.
- Use for complex compositions with many elements
Common Pairings
- Solid Canvas - Create a base layer for the composition
- Text - Add multiple text elements at different positions
- Asset - Layer multiple brand elements in one operation
Gotchas
- All layers after 0 must connect to layer inputs (layer_1, layer_2, etc.)
- Position presets: “center”, “top-left”, “top-right”, “bottom-left”, “bottom-right”
- Higher layer numbers draw on top of lower numbers
