CHAPTER 6-7

LAYERS;
       Photoshop images are made up of layers, which can be said as single transparent sheets that hold an image. These layers can contain images, text, and vector graphics, and can be rearranged and grouped according to user needs. Layers are controlled with the use of the Layers pane. Often times, when you find yourself frustrated with Photoshop, it is because you are trying to perform operations on a layer that is not currently selected. Simply click on the name of a layer in order to change it as the current layer. Whenever you add text to an image in Photoshop, the text appears on a new layer.You can  flatten image to force the entire contents of the image in one layer, and merge down layers to cement it.
