Moved convertToImage, createMaskFromImageSrc, and canvasToMaskImage from MaskProcessingUtils and mask_utils to ImageUtils for better modularity and reuse. Updated imports in dependent modules to use the new locations. Removed duplicate implementations from mask_utils and MaskProcessingUtils.
Replaces direct usage of document.createElement('canvas') and manual context setup with the createCanvas utility across multiple utility modules. This change improves code consistency, reduces duplication, and centralizes canvas/context creation logic. Also updates notification usage in ClipboardManager to use showNotification and showInfoNotification utilities.
Extracted image upload, mask processing, notification, and preview update logic into dedicated utility modules. Updated MaskEditorIntegration and SAMDetectorIntegration to use these new utilities, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability.
Introduces a 'blendArea' property to layers and UI controls for adjusting it. Implements distance field mask generation in ImageAnalysis.ts and applies the mask during layer rendering for smooth edge blending. Refactors CanvasRenderer to delegate layer drawing to CanvasLayers for proper blend area support.
Introduces a 'visible' property to layers and updates all relevant logic to support toggling layer visibility. Adds visibility toggle icons to the layers panel using a new IconLoader utility, with SVG and fallback canvas icons. Updates rendering, selection, and batch preview logic to respect layer visibility. Also improves blend mode menu UI and ensures new/pasted layers are always added on top with correct z-index.
Refactors horizontal and vertical mirroring to toggle flipH/flipV properties on layers instead of modifying image data. Updates rendering logic in CanvasLayers and CanvasRenderer to apply horizontal/vertical flipping via canvas transforms. Adds flipH and flipV to Layer type and includes them in state signature calculation.
