Introduction to Layers
Layers allow work to be done on a single element of an image without disturbing the others. The Layers pane is used to add effects and shapes to an image, each in their own layer, as well as perform photo manipulations, create composite images, and much more. Using sliders, layers can be made transparent or opaque by subtle degrees. Layers are stacked and ordered above an image to achieve the level of desired visibility for the elements added to each layer. Layers can also be hidden.
Layers can be used in conjunction with image effects and adjustment tools, drawing tools, text, and more. Effects and adjustments will be applied to the layer selected in the Layers pane. A blank image can also be created and other elements layered on top of it.
Geometry adjustments are applied to all layers.
Watermarks can be added to new layers.
