What is a Layer

It is a concept used to organize and display


your image and adjustments. The most
fundamental layers are those that contain
either pixels or an adjustment that alters the
appearance of pixels.

Every object you are placing on the image


window coming from other images represents
an individual layer.

Layers are arranged using the Layers Palette
