Creating a new bitmap layer

In Focus, a bitmap layer acts as a graphical layer that can be used to mask regions in your imagery for a variety of purposes. You can create a new empty bitmap layer when you want to work with raster information in a layer of lower priority.

  1. In the Maps tree, right-click an area and click New Bitmap Layer.
  2. In the New Bitmap window, enable a Georeferencing option and fill in the appropriate information.
  3. Click OK.
