Changed the default log level for both Python and JavaScript module loggers from DEBUG to NONE to disable logging by default. Removed the README_LOGGER.md documentation file, and updated README.md to remove a reference to seamless integration.

### Why LayerForge?
|
||
|
||
- **Full Creative Control:** Move beyond simple image inputs. Composite, mask, and blend multiple elements without
|
||
leaving ComfyUI.
|
||
- **Intuitive UI:** Familiar controls like drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts, and a pannable/zoomable viewport make
|
||
editing fast and easy.

## ✨ Key Features
|
||
|
||
- **Persistent & Stateful:** Your work is automatically saved to the browser's IndexedDB, preserving your full canvas
|
||
state (layers, positions, etc.) even after a page reload.
|
||
- **Multi-Layer Editing:** Add, arrange, and manage multiple image layers with z-ordering.
|
||
- **Advanced Masking Tool:** A dedicated masking mode with adjustable brush size, strength, and softness. Masks have
|
||
their own separate undo/redo history.
|
||
- **Full Transformation Controls:** Precisely move, scale, and rotate layers with mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
|
||
- **Blend Modes & Opacity:** Apply 12 common blend modes (`Overlay`, `Multiply`, etc.) and adjust opacity on a per-layer
|
||
basis via a context menu.
|
||
- **Comprehensive Undo/Redo:** Full history support for both layer manipulations and mask drawing.
|
||
- **Seamless I/O:**
|
||
- **Drag & Drop** image files to create new layers.
|
||
- **Copy & Paste** images directly from your system clipboard.
|
||
- Import the last generated image from your workflow with one click.
|
||
- **AI-Powered Matting:** Optional background removal for any layer using the `BiRefNet` model.
|
||
- **Efficient Memory Management:** An automatic garbage collection system cleans up unused image data to keep the
|
||
browser's storage footprint low.
|
||
- **Workflow Integration:** Outputs a final composite **image** and a combined alpha **mask**, ready for any other
|
||
ComfyUI node.
