Photoshop layers


the layer pallet is where you can see an overview of all your layers with a thumbnails of each layer showing what is in that layer this part of the layer pallet is called the layer stack from the layer stack you can make layers visible or invisible change the opacity and the blending mode.

you can create new layers using the new layer button this is so that you can have more layers 

you can change the opacity of a layer which makes the image on the layer more or less transparent.
the visibility button give you the ability to hide and show layers 

the transform tools allow you to scale rotate skew and distort the image to make it look like it is sitting at an angle or to make it bigger or smaller.

when you copy a selection in a layer and then paste the selection it puts the pasted part of the image in a new layer

the layer styles allow you to add effects to the layers such as emboss and drop shadow.

the blending modes allow you to change the way the colours of the layer appear on screen by the way the blend with the colours on the layers below one example of this is the multiply blending option which multiplys the colour values on both layers together
