Layers
Layers allow you to work on one element of an image without disturbing the others. Think of layers as sheets of acetate stacked one on top of the other.

1) Rename a Layer
As you add layers to an image, it’s helpful to give them names that reflect their content. Descriptive names make layers easy to identify in the palette.

2) Position the Layers

3) Layer Opacity
A layer’s opacity determines to what degree it obscures or reveals the layer beneath it. A layer with 1% opacity appears nearly transparent, whereas one with 100% opacity appears completely opaque.

6) Invisible Layers
7) Merge visible layers
Merge - When you have finalized the content of layers, you can merge them to create partial versions of your composite image
