With the current Layers system, the Brush Tool paints on whichever Brush Layer is currently selected in the Layers Panel.

Previously, the Brush Tool included a toggle for switching between the Foreground and Background. Since maps can now contain multiple Brush Layers, layer selection is handled directly through the Layers Panel instead.

Selecting a Brush Layer

To paint on the Foreground or Background:

1. Open the Layers Panel.

2. Select the Foreground (Land) or Background (Water) Brush Layer.

3. Open the Brush Tool and paint normally.

The Brush Tool will apply textures and colors to the selected Brush Layer.

You can use the same workflow for any additional Brush Layers you create.
