Did You Know?
The Layers panel includes two types
of sliders. The Opacity slider affects
the visibility of both the filled pixels
and the layer style. The Fill slider
affects only the transparency of the
filled pixels without changing any
style that is applied.
Important!
Double-clicking the Type thumbnail
in the Layers panel selects and
highlights all the type on that layer.
Double-clicking the blank space
next to the name of a layer opens
the Layer Style dialog box.
