CHAPTER 1 16
A Quick Tour of Adobe Photoshop
By changing the order of layers, you can restack
images in the artwork.
3
Drag Layer 2 (the horn layer) until it’s between
Layer 1 (the CD layer) and the background on the
Layers palette. Release the mouse button to set
Layer 2 in its new position. The horn now appears
behind the CD in the artwork.
4 Click Layer 1 in the Layers palette to make it the
active layer. The layer is highlighted and a paint-
brush icon appears next to the layer thumbnail,
indicating that your changes now will affect
artwork only on that layer.
5
Select the move tool ( ). Then drag the CD
to the top right corner of the artwork. Because the
CD is on its own layer, you can move it separately
from artwork on other layers.
Now you’ll adjust the opacity of Layer 1.
6
Select Layer 1 in the Layers palette, and drag the
opacity slider to 40%. You can now see other layers
through the CD.
By specifying blending modes, you can determine
how one layer interacts with another.
7 Choose Multiply from the mode menu at
the top left of the Layers palette. Notice how the
CD blends with the layers below it.
Now you’re ready to create and manipulate some
text. You will create the text with the type tool,
which places the text on its own type layer. You
will then edit the text and apply special effects to
its layer.
