Creating new layers
|
| You don't have to depend
on Photoshop to create new layers for you; you can do it yourself.
To create a new layer, do the following: |
| |
- click the "layer options" button in the Layers palette
(circled in figure below)
- click on New Layer.
- The dialogue box that appears gives you a chance to name your
layer. This name will show up in the Layers palette. If you're
working with lots of layers in a complex image, it's a good idea
to give your layers descriptive names to distinguish them from
the rest.
- If at any time you want to rename a layer, just double-click
on it in the Layers palette, and the same dialogue box will reappear.

The same "layer
options" button can also be used to delete layers you don't
want and to make duplicate copies of layers; just click on the
appropriate option. |
