TIPS
Important!
The Layer Filter settings remain in
effect as long as the document is
open. Once you close a document,
the filter state is not saved.
Did You Know?
The selected layer is called the
active layer. You can select
multiple layers by pressing Ô (Ctrl)
and clicking them. You can then
color-code them to match, move
them together to another open
document, or add effects to them
all at the same time.
Try This!
To move the Background layer,
unlock it by double-clicking its
name, type a new name in the
dialog box that appears, and click
OK. To quickly duplicate the
Background layer or any active
layer, use the keyboard shortcut
Ô+J (Ctrl+J).
