13 Chapter 13 Working with Layers Think of a layered image as a file made of multiple photos stacked one atop the other. When viewing a multi-layered image file, the stacking order is viewed from above. Therefore, if a hole is cut in the top photo or if it's made partially transparent, the layer below will be visible through that hole. By changing the order of the photos -- moving them up or down within the stack, the line of sight of elements may be affected, thereby altering the overall appearance of the image.

Working with Layers
Think of a layered image as a file made of multiple photos stacked one atop the other. When viewing a
multi-layered image file, the stacking order is viewed from above. Therefore, if a hole is cut in the top
photo or if it’s made partially transparent, the layer below will be visible through that hole. By changing
the order of the photos -- moving them up or down within the stack, the line of sight of elements may be
affected, thereby altering the overall appearance of the image.
This section shows how to use the Layers Palette, and work with images with multiple layers.
