Micronegative
Studio layout

Customize your Studio.

Hide the stages and tools you don't use from Studio's own sidebar — this only changes what you SEE. Anything already switched on keeps working exactly as before; hiding it just gets it out of your way. Turn a stage or a tool back on any time and every setting is still there, untouched.

Quick templates
Start from a layout built around how photo editors actually work — the tool groupings that come up again and again, from quick casual edits to full manual control. Applying one replaces your current layout; your own saved presets below are untouched.

Back up your setup

Download your saved looks and this Studio layout as a .micro setup file — no photos, just your configuration. Keep a copy, or import it on another computer to carry your presets across. Importing replaces your current presets and layout with the file's.

Your presets

Everything the export above carries, listed. Tool presets are the ones you save from a tool's own Presets row in Studio; full looks are whole-recipe saves from the toolbar's Save menu. Deleting one here removes it from this browser only — an exported .micro still has it.

Reading…
Cached photos

Photos you import are cached on-device in this browser (IndexedDB) so the Gallery and filmstrip survive a reload or crash. Clearing them frees that space and empties the Gallery and the crash-recovery snapshot. Your saved presets and this Studio layout are kept — they live in a separate store and are never touched.

Checking storage…
Hiding a tool here never touches your photo or your edit — it's purely which controls show in Studio's sidebar. This is separate from each tool's own on/off switch inside Studio, which controls whether its effect is actually applied. Saved as a preset, this lives in your browser's own storage (not synced anywhere) — clearing site data will reset it back to everything visible.
