Image Overlays

The Overlays pop-over configures the overlays that are displayed on top of images. In the header, there is a button to turn off all overlays for the Image Editor. This option also toggles the visibility of UDIM tile information.

The options that are visible in the pop-over depend on the Image Editor mode. The following overlay categories are available:

Geometry

Display UVs

Display selected and active object’s UVs.

UV Face Opacity

Opacity of faces. Useful to differentiate between UV islands. Can also be reduced when texture painting to prevent faces from tinting the texture’s colors.

Image

Show Metadata

Displays metadata about the selected Render Result. See the Output tab’s Metadata panel to change what metadata to include.

Guides

The following properties are only available when displaying the Viewer Node image in the Image Editor set to View or Mask mode.

Text Info

Displays overlay text showing information about the active Viewer node:

  • Render Size: The resolution of the final render output. This is defined in the Output Properties.

  • Image Size: The resolution of the image currently displayed in the Viewer node.

Render Region

Displays a border showing the final render region defined in the scene. Space outside the render region appear shaded for reference.

Passepartout Alpha

Controls the opacity of the shaded area outside the render region. Higher values darken the outside area more, making the render region stand out.
