You’ve already learned the bulk about what this palette contains.  The information displayed in 

this palette is directly dependent to the tool selected in the Tools Palette.  For example, when 
you select the Draw Tool, this palette will display the various options that are available, such as 

the specific draw tools available (Pen, Paintbrush, etc.) as well as the brush size and opacity.  

When you choose the Text Tool, the palette will display various text options.  All of the options 

available here are described with each related tool in the Tools Palette section. 

 

 

Layers allow you to “stack” multiple image components within a single file.  This means you can 

copy/paste multiple images on top of each other, then adjust their transparency to make them 

look as if they’re blended together.  But that’s just one example.  With layers, you can create 
awesome graphic images that include both text and photos.  Since each layer is independent, 

you can edit and enhance each one without affecting others. 

 

 

 
The easiest way to experience the benefits of layers is to add text to an image.  You’ll notice that 

when you do, the Layers Palette will show a new layer.  Even though it appears that the text and 

image are one, they are actually independent components.  You can then continue to edit the 

image without affecting the text. If you want, you could even go back and change the text that 

you’ve written! 

 
You can save your image and all of its layers by saving in the PSF format.  If you save in any 

other format, you will lose all layer information.
