Skala set out to create a modern image editing tool that matches the power of editing tool but offers a cleaner, more intuitive experience. The main challenge was simplifying complex design workflows like masking, layering, and color grading into a UI that feels effortless across skill levels.

We designed a dark-mode interface with clear visual hierarchy, collapsible panels, and smart tool behavior. The layout was structured into a central canvas, dynamic toolbars, and contextual settings to keep the workspace focused and uncluttered.

Sidebar Tools for quick access to brushes, selection, and effects

Properties Panel that adapts based on tool use

Layer Panel with previews, grouping, and blend modes

Color & Filter Controls with real-time previews

Responsive Canvas optimized for drag-drop and zoom interactions

The final product is a sleek, professional UI that blends precision and usability. Skala now offers designers a creative space that’s powerful, approachable, and performance-ready—delivering a smooth editing experience from the first click.
