0:15
sheet of glass on which you can paint image you can see through the transparent
0:20
areas of a layer to the layers below you can work on each layer independently
0:25
experimenting to create a effect you want each layer remains independent until you combine or merge those layers. Now the bottomless layer in the
0:36
layer panel the background layer is always locked protected meaning you cannot
0:41
change the stacked order blending mode or an opacity unless you convert it
0:46
to the regular layer as you can see I convert this background layer to the
0:50
regular layer now you can use layers to perform a task such as a compositing
0:57
multiple images adding a text to an image or adding a vector graphic shapes you can apply a layer style to add a special effect such as a drop shadow or a glow
1:07
as you can see on this text of Photoshop I apply a different different effect and also an apply a drop shadow
1:15
so guys let's create a new project so you have any clear idea about this you can use a control plus and to create this
1:21
I'm just named this as layer in Photoshop okay here is size like 920 by 1080 70
1:29
resolution this size and pixels okay the background color will be a black by default
1:35
or you can also change from here okay and just press okay so my new project is
1:40
created my previous one is here only you can create a more than one project
1:45
like this okay so if I'm creating a new project the by default okay the background
1:52
will be black and it will be a locked as I already said you you cannot do
1:56
anything in this layer until and unless you convert into the regular layer
2:02
So guys, first is a blending mode menu. Here you can see this is a blending mode menu
2:07
From here you can set the blending mode for the layers. If I am selecting this text layer, okay, and here you can apply a different, different
2:15
blending mode like a darker, multiple color bun and as you can see the changes apply to
2:21

Also you can see a highlighted color over here. Okay just by moving your mouse pointer the blending mode is changing
2:46
Okay, these are a blending now next you can see this eye what is I indicates this eye indicates the layer visibility
2:53
If I am just switch off this eye then my layer will be invisible if I am just switch on this eye the layer is again visible Now guys beside this eye you can see a small box It is so a preview of the layer
3:08
Now, there is a text layer. That's why it is showing a T over here
3:12
Now, there is an image, so it will be showing a small image inside this
3:16
This is called a layer thumbnail. Okay, also you can see a preview of the layer
3:21
Now, highlighted layer is active layer or not. Now if I'm selecting this layer, so that's why it is so it is an active layer also it will be a highlighted layer
3:30
Now you can also copy and paste a particular layer You can just use control C and control V and you can just copy and paste those layers
3:39
Okay, you can just duplicate these layers by just right click on it or duplicate layers and here you can just change the name

4:18

new name Photoshop layer or I'm just click on double click on here and you can
5:15
change the name of this layer now guys you can also convert the background layer
5:20
into the regular layer now this is my background layer which is locked The background layer is a bottom layer in an image, other layers stacked on top of this background layer, which usually, but not always
5:31
Now guys, we can convert the background layer into the regular layer. As you can see, this is our background layer which is locked
5:38
The background layer is the bottom layer in an image, other layers stacked on this top of the background layer, which usually, but not always
5:46
Now contains the actual image data of a photo. To protect the image, the background layer is always locked
5:53
want to change its stacked order blending mode or any opacity you must first convert it into the regular layer Now to convert it into the regular layer just double click on this background layer and now he will tell you what name you want
6:08
I'm just right, BG, new. Okay, here you can also apply the color of the layer
6:16
and you can also change the blending mode and you can also change the opacity
6:20
Just press okay. Now as you can see, now my background color
6:25
is become a regular layer. Now next we are going to see a managing some layer. How you can create a new group
6:33
For example, I have this two layer which is come in a same category
6:38
Now instead of creating a lots of layer, I am just adding these two layers in a single group
6:44
Now how you can do it? You can just creating a new group by creating here and then just drag and drop this layer to this group
6:54
Okay? Now and another thing is just. Just selecting those two layers and here you can see creating a new group
7:05
Just click on this and by default it will be go inside that group and that group will be also created
7:11
Okay, the next thing is assign a color to layer or a group
7:17
Color coding layer and a group helps you to identify related layers in the layer panel
7:23
Simply right click the layers or a group and select a color
7:27
Now for example this group contains some text layer. So what I am doing I am just preferring red color for the text
7:34
So by default the color code will be a red. Now for background I can create a different color for example green
7:42
So now this color will be green. So it will be helped me to identify a related layer in the layer panel
7:49
Now guys next is filter in Photoshop layer. Now we are back to our thumbnail and now here I'm showing you how this is how this is a filter in Photoshop layer
7:56
you how the filters in Photoshop layers works. Now at the top of the layer panel, here you can see this is called a filter
8:05
Pick a filter type. Now at the top of this filter panel, the filtering option help you to find a key layers
8:12
in a complex document. Here you can display a subset of layer based on name, kind, effect, mode, attribute, color, smart
8:22
object selected and art board. I am collecting the effect so it will be a filter by the effect so I can only show that
8:31
affected layers in our layer panel for example if I'm selecting the art board so all
8:37
the art board are displayed so normally it will be a filter Photoshop layers so guys
8:44
in a layer panel if I'm selecting a particular layer for example I'm just
8:49
selecting this Rushi 2 okay I'm just selecting this dustbin you can call it a delete
8:55
