Changing the stacking order of layers

want to move.

Choose Layer > Arrange, and choose an option 
from the submenu to arrange the layer:
•
Bring to Front to make the layer the topmost 
layer.
•
Bring Forward to move the layer one level up in 
the stacking order.
•
Send Backward to move the layer one level down 
in the stacking order.
•
Send to Back to make the layer the bottommost 
layer in the image (except for the background).
To change the order of layers by dragging:
1
In the Layers palette, select the layer that you 
want to move.
2
Drag the layer up or down in the Layers palette. 
When the highlighted line appears in the desired

layers” on page 170.)
