Cuts the layer without moving it to the clipboard.

void copy ([merge: bool=false])
Copies the layer to the clipboard.

void cut ()
Cuts the layer to the clipboard.

void desaturate ()
Converts a color image to a grayscale image in the current color mode by assigning equal values of each component color to each pixel.

void equalize ()
Redistributes the brightness values of pixels in an image to more evenly represent the entire range of brightness levels within the image.

void invert ()
Inverts the colors in the layer by converting the brightness value of each pixel in the channels to the inverse value on the 256-step color-values scale.

ArtLayer merge ()
Merges the layer down, removing the layer from the document. Returns a reference to the art layer that this layer is merged into.

void mixChannels (outputChannels: Array of any[, monochrome: bool=false])
Modifies a targeted (output) color channel using a mix of the existing color channels in the image. (output channels = An array of channel specifications.

CMYK arrays must include five doubles.
