CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
  Layer panel

Working with layers in Photoshop, each layer can be moved around, from under another layer to on top of another.

In this screen shot you will see 5 layers, the first layer being the background. If we look we can see the red box is fully shown and the blue is hardly seen, this is because the red box's layer is on top of the blue and infact all the layers so is seen. Each layer is seen more depending on its place in the layers panel, layer one seen least and layer four being seen the most.

We can change the Opactiy of each layer, so we can see layers behind it, you can do this at the top of your layers panel by changing the % of the Opacity.

To create a new layer you can click the icon at the bottom, if you want to duplicate a layer, drag the layer to the icon.

To delete a layer, drag the layer to the delete layer icon or click on the layer then the icon.
