ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 209 User Guide 4 (Photoshop) Select Use Video Alpha to enable Photoshop to send transparency information to your computer's video board. This option requires hardware support-make sure that your computer's video board allows images to be overlaid on top of a live video signal. Selecting this option without hardware support produces unpredictable results. 5 Click OK. Changing the stacking order of layers The stacking order determines whether a layer or layer set appears in front of or behind other layers. Note that you cannot drag a layer set into another layer set or drag layer effects below the background. For more information about the stacking order in layers, see "Grouping layers into sets" on page 213. To change the order of a layer: 1 In the Layers palette, select the layer or layer set that you want to move. 2 Choose Layer > Arrange, and choose an option from the submenu: • Bring to Front to make the layer the topmost layer. • Bring Forward to move the layer one level up in the stacking order. • Send Backward to move the layer one level down in the stacking order. • Send to Back to make the layer the bottommost layer in the image (except for the background). To change the order of layers by dragging: 1 In the Layers palette, select the layer or the layer set you want to move. 2 Drag the layer up or down in the Layers palette. When the highlighted line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button. Note: By default, the background cannot be moved from the bottom of the layer list unless it is first converted to a layer. (See the procedure to convert a background into a layer in "Adding layers" on page 210.) Linking layers By linking two or more layers, you can move their contents together. You can link layers outside a layer set to each other, to a layer within a layer set, or to the entire layer set. You can also link a layer in a layer set to a layer contained in another layer set or to a layer that is not part of a layer set. Once you link to a layer set, the layers within the layer set are implicitly linked. By linking layers and layer sets, you can move their contents together. You can also perform the following tasks on linked layers and layers in a set: • Apply transformations. For more information, see "Transforming objects in two dimensions" in online Help. • Align layer contents. (See "Moving and aligning the contents of layers" on page 214.) • Merge layers. (See "Merging layers" on page 247.) • Create clipping groups. (See "Creating clipping groups" on page 218.)
