Creating layers
You can create a layer from the Layers palette. When you create a layer,
you can specify properties such as the layer type, opacity, or blend
mode. These properties can be modified as you work with the layer.
You can also create layers from selections, vector objects, or other
images. For more information, see “Creating layers” in the Help.
Layers are created automatically when you use the Text tool, Art Media
tools, or vector drawing tools, such the Pen tool or the Preset Shape
tool.
