Certainly! Pixlr offers a plethora of tools and features that some users might miss upon a cursory glance. Maximizing the potential of the Pixlr app requires diving deep into its functionalities. Here are some advanced features and "hidden eggs" that you might not have discovered yet:

1. Layer Styles: While layers are a common feature in many graphic software, the ability to apply styles such as drop shadows, inner glow, and bevel directly within a browser app is a pleasant surprise. This allows you to create more dynamic and 3D-looking text or objects without needing to switch to a heavier application.

2. History Palette: Mistakes happen, and that's where the history palette comes in handy. Not only can you undo your last action, but you can also jump back several steps to a previous state of your project, offering flexibility during the editing process.

3. Blend Modes: You can change the way two layers interact with each other by using different blend modes like Multiply, Overlay, or Screen. This is excellent for creating composite images or achieving specific lighting and texture effects.
