ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 23 User Guide Select a layer Often you will need to target a specific layer for further editing in Photoshop or ImageReady. For instance, many tasks-such as transformations or filters-can be applied to entire layers as well as to individual selections. In addition, you must first target a layer in order to select an area or shape that sits on that layer. To select or target a layer, click its name in the Layers palette. Create a selection based on the contents of a layer To select all the opaque contents of a layer, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the layer in the Layers palette. The resulting selection border represents the boundaries of the layer. Adjust opacity and blending mode For each layer, you can specify an opacity percentage (to control how much layers beneath show through) and blending mode (to control how the colors in the layer are blended with the colors of underlying layers). To specify the opacity of a selected layer, enter a value for Opacity or drag the slider at the upper right of the Layers palette. To specify a blending mode for a selected layer, choose an option from the menu at the upper left of the Layers palette. Move a layer's stacking order The Layers palette displays layers in the order that they are stacked in the image, with the topmost layer appearing at the top of the list. To move a layer (or layer set) to a different level in the stacking order, simply drag the layer up or down in the palette. You can also move a layer into a layer set by dragging the layer over the layer set icon. Move a layer's contents To move all the contents of Reordering a layer set a layer to a different position in the image, first select the layer in the Layers palette. Then use the move tool ( ) to drag in the image. Only the contents of the selected layer are affected.
