the white background was selected.

background to the selection. You’ve now selected
everything except the horn.

(Mac OS), position the pointer within the
selection marquee, and drag the horn onto the
Tour.psd window. (Holding down
Control/Command temporarily changes the
current tool to the move tool.) Move the horn to
the bottom left corner of the image.

Layers
Photoshop lets you organize artwork on separate
transparent layers so that you can easily construct
composite images and experiment with various
effects.
1
If the Layers palette is not visible on your screen,
choose Window > Show Layers. Click the
minimize/maximize box (Windows) or resize box
(Mac OS) at the top of the Layers palette to expand
the palette.
Notice that this file has several layers, each named
and with a thumbnail, or miniature represen-
tation, of the image on that layer. Photoshop
automatically created separate layers for the CD
image (Layer 1) and horn image (Layer 2) when
you brought them into the Tour file. In addition,
the background and the Notes layer were already
in the file.
From the Layers palette you can display or hide
layers in the image.
2 Click the eye icon column to the far left of the
Notes layer to display the layer. Then try clicking
the eye icon for Layer 2 to hide the layer, and again
to redisplay it.
