13-2 Working with Layers
Using the Layers Palette
The Layers Palette is PhotoStudio’s "control center" for layers.
It can display all of the layers of an individual image file. With
the Layers Palette, all the layers of an image can be viewed,
arranged,
and merged.
To use the Layers Palette:
1. Open an image file. The photo will appear as Layer 0 in the
Layers Palette unless a multi-layered file, PSF or PSD format,
has been opened (
See Chapter 4
).
2. To add a new, transparent layer, click on the New
Layer button.
3. To copy a layer, highlight the thumbnail representing the
layer in the Layers Palette, then click the Copy Layer button.
4. To paste the copied graphic or layer to the clipboard, click on the Paste As New Layer button.
5. To delete a layer, highlight its thumbnail, then click the Delete Layer button.
6. To change the order of layers, drag and drop layer thumbnails up or down within the Layers Palette.
7. To rename a layer, highlight the layer name field then type in a new name.
8. To change the opacity of a layer, adjust the slider that appears under the layer name field.
9. To hide a layer (turn it off), click the
Visible
button. To turn the layer back on, click the Visible button
again.
10. To limit the activity in certain elements on a layer, such as filling a text layer with a different color,
click the Restricted button before using the
Bucket Fill Tool
on the Tools Palette. Otherwise, the entire
text layer will be painted.
11. To merge all of the layers of a multi-layered file into a single, flat image file, click the Merge All
Layers button (See Merging Layers in this chapter).
Note:
1) Some of these options are also accessible under the
Layer
command on the Main Menu.
2) For Steps 7 and 8, change the Layers Palette into its "floating" state, or click the Control button
(insert icon here) on the snapped Layers Palette to access all of the controls.
