50 What's New in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Enhanced layer management Layers are more flexible than ever in Photoshop 6.0. Now you can create hundreds of layers in an image to help arrange elements in an intricate composition. In addition, you can use an array of new features to help organize and manage layers more efficiently. Layer sets You can organize layers into sets to keep better track of related parts. You can then toggle the visibility of layer sets, hiding or showing them as you work, or move a layer set in the stacking order by dragging it in the Layers palette. And you can specify the opacity of an entire layer set. Layer identification and locking Color-coding layers in the Layers palette lets you quickly identify layer relationships. Once your layers are set as desired, you can lock them to prevent accidental edits. Layers palette enhancements The enhanced Layers palette helps you handle layer effects more efficiently. If you assign a layer effect to one layer and want to reuse it on another, just drag and drop it on the target layer. All of the settings are preserved and instantly copied to the target layer. Locking the selected layer Fill layers You can now experiment with color, gradient, or pattern fills by adding them to a new type of layer, called a fill layer. Like adjustment layers, fill layers apply nondestructive changes to the underlying image and can be modified or discarded at any time.
