ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 219 User Guide Note that only successive layers can be included in a clipping group. The name of the base layer in the group is underlined, and the thumbnails for the overlying layers are indented. Additionally, the overlying layers display a clipping group icon. The Blend Clipped Layers As Group option in the Layer Style dialog box (Photoshop) or the Layer Options palette (ImageReady) determines whether the blending mode of the base affects the whole group or just the base. To remove a layer from a clipping group: Do one of the following: • Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), position the pointer over the line separating two grouped layers in the Layers palette (the pointer changes to two overlapping circles ( )), and click. • In the Layers palette, select a layer in the clipping group, and choose Layer > Ungroup. This command removes the selected layer and any layers above it from the clipping group. To ungroup all layers in a clipping group: 1 In the Layers palette, select the base layer in the clipping group. 2 Choose Layer > Ungroup.
