                      | Hello, when using layers there is the following problem see example pictures.
 1. Original Imageenview1.center := true
 
  
 2. With Layer1 and softshadow.enabled := true;
 
  
 3. Mergelayer(0,1);
 Problem, the Picture not more in center, posx and psy < 0
 
  
 4. Set posx,posy = 0, it's Ok now
 
  
 5. Original + Layer1 imageenview1.center := false;
 
  
 6. Softshadow.enabled = true, Mergelayer(0,1)
 Problem, left and top Site not visible
 
  
 7. Posx,posy = 0, It's Ok
 
  
 Maybe this could be corrected. Then you don't have to correct it every time.

                      | Hi Klaus 
 In the first state, the view is centered over layer 0 (which appears to be a blank 1x1 image), and layer 1 is ignored.
 After you merge it is now centered on your layer 1 + layer 2 combined, so it is expected to move.
 
 It is easier to see if you make Layer 0 visible, e.g.
 ImageEnView1.Layers[0].Bitmap.Allocate(10, 10, clRed);
 ImageEnView1.Update;
 
 This is why ImageEnView1.Center is not recommended for layer editing.

                      | Hi Nigel, loDynamicCanvas is not practical for me.
 When moving, unpredictable views arise.
 If center := false, it doesn't work.
 I set after mergelayer, posx and posy = 0.
 The result is better.
