Today, let’s talk about the layer palette in Photoshop. The article is long. Be patient and read.
Layer palette has several layers.
- Masks
- Adjustment layers
- Shapes
- Text layers
- images
- Background Things like that. And we can group, merge, and convert these layers into a smart object.
There are two ways that layers behave when we create photoshop
- Designing on a Layer.
We are talking about drawing something with a regular brush, Erase that worn thing. We can do things like selecting something from a selection tool on a single layer. That Layer can be a new layer, an image layer. - Create a new Layer
The second way we create something is to create a layer and a new layer in the layer palette. If we type something, If you draw a shape (rectangle tool, pen tool), a separate layer, shape layer, create new layers. That’s why it’s so easy for us to handle them. - Under the Layer palette, we can look at a few small icons. They handle the layers and make necessary edits. If you start with the left.
- Link layer (Linking to another layer)
- Layer style (Here are the effects for the Layer or the effects of the Blending Option. Blending Option is an excellent place to learn.
- Layer mask
A mask means that we can select the area where we want to apply the effect. And the mask can only make the necessary changes. - Adjustment layer
We can use this icon to adjust the Layer we want. - Group
Layers are used to create a group. - New Layer
Use this icon to get a new layer. A new layer is like a transparent paper. We can do whatever we want with this effect. - Delete Layer
This use to delete the Layer.

You can press the ctrl key and select a few layers. Right-click them and click on the merge layer.
A smart object can do the same. The smart object is a layer that combines several objects. You can also edit that Layer by double-clicking on it.
Select one layer and press the alt key and click on the Layer below it. Now it likes one layer. But we can change it.
