Based on your Cocoa experience, I think you will find yourself way over your
head with this project. In any case I would recommend a different approach:
using a custom NSView. This approach seems easier and more sensible to me,
although I confess I have never tried to do anything similar to what you
describe.
For example, you could have a custom object that tracks properties about an
image such as image content & visibility, put them into an array or other
collection object to also track drawing order, and then draw the lot into
the view based on these options. You could have a number of controls that
mimic the layer behavior and editing focus.
Or better yet, tell your colleague to grab a copy of Photoshop, which can do
what he wants/needs and a whole lot more. Why reinvent the wheel?
