Tools for opening and manipulating images. Shows an asterisk if the image has unsaved changes. See Bearbeiten.
- Image
A data-block menu used for selecting images. Once an image is selected, the Image tab appears in the Sidebar region.
Apart from loading existing images, you can also create new ones:
The pop-over that’s displayed when clicking „New Image“ in the header.
The Tiled option creates an image with support for UDIMs. For the other options, see Generated Images.
In addition to images, the data-block selector includes the following items:
Render Result: displays renders. When this item is selected, the Slot, View Layer, and Render Pass selectors become available (see below).
Viewer Node: displays the image that’s fed into the Viewer Node in the Compositor.
- Image Pin
Prevents the Image Editor from automatically switching to the texture of the selected object. (This switching only happens if the 3D Viewport is in Texture Paint mode).
- Slot
The render slot to view (and render to). You can create new renders without losing previous ones by selecting an empty slot before rendering. Afterwards, you compare them by pressing J and Alt-J to cycle forwards and backwards. Alternatively, you can use the number keys 1, 2, 3 etc. to select the slot with the corresponding number.
Slots can be renamed by double clicking their name in the Image panel in the Sidebar.
- View Layer
The View Layer to display.
- Render Pass
The Render Pass to display.
- Viewport Gizmos
Lets you show/hide all gizmos using the toggle button, or specific gizmos using the drop-down arrow.

Select which color channels are displayed.
- Color & Alpha:
Enables transparency and shows a checkerboard behind the image.
- Color:

- Red, Green, Blue:
Single color channel visualized as a grayscale image.
