Using Layers
Using the Layers palette
The Layers palette lists all layers in an image,
starting with the topmost layer. The order of layers
in the Layers palette indicates the order of layers in
the image—the topmost layer in the Layers palette
is the topmost layer in the image. You can change
the stacking order of layers by dragging a layer to a
new position in the Layers palette.

About the background layer
When you create a new image with a white
background or a colored background, the
bottommost image in the Layers palette is called
Background. You cannot change the stacking order
of a background, change its blending mode, or
change its opacity. However, you can convert a
background to a regular layer. (See “Adding layers”
on page 170.)

When you create a new image with transparent
contents, the bottommost layer is called Layer 1.
This layer is not constrained like the background
layer; you can move it anywhere in the Layers
palette, and change its opacity and blending mode.

This layer is not constrained like the background

Because the background can never be transparent,
it’s helpful to have a background when you want to
create an image that will not have any transparent
regions. If you want to create an image with trans-
parent regions—for example, for a transparent
GIF on a Web page—you’ll want to create an image
without a background. For information on
converting a layer to a background, see “Adding
layers” on page 170.

About the Layers palette
Changes to an image affect only the highlighted or
active layer. You select a layer to make it active, and
only one layer can be active at a time. You can
accomplish many tasks—such as creating, hiding,
displaying, copying, and deleting a layer—using
the icons in the Layers palette. You can access
additional commands and options in the Layers
palette menu and the Layers menu.

The Layers palette uses icons to provide infor-
mation about layers. The leftmost column in the
palette displays an eye icon next to visible layers
and no eye icon to hidden layers.

The second column from the left shows a paint-
brush icon next to the active layer; layers without
the paintbrush icon cannot be modified. It also
shows a link icon for layers that are linked to the
active layer.
