MAGIX Photo Clinic is an picture processing program based on a combination of object and layer techniques. The main image and all objects each have their own paint layers which lie over the background like a foil and to which the paint and image processing effects can be applied and erased or corrected without limitations! The background remains unaffected by the paint layer until the user is satisfied with the result and connects the paint layer with the image. This independent layer makes it possible to change the parameters of an effect even after application.
