How to create a layer in photoshop CS6?

Many believe that it is extremely difficult to work in Photoshop and under the power exclusively professionals. In fact, it is not at all like that, because, as in any program, it is necessary to simply figure it out, and detailed instructions are an excellent assistant in this. Let's find out how to create a new layer in the "Photoshop".

The essence of the creation of layers

To date, every professional modern image editor has such a property as creating a layer, because it is a basic and necessary function for high-quality processing.

It's no secret that Photoshop was and remains the most popular editor of images in which you can create up to a thousand layers. Such a need is a rare phenomenon. But still, it is worth noting that the creation of a large number of layers does not affect the work of the program, that is, at its speed.

Creating layers allows you to:

• Observe the necessary elements
• Cut unnecessary details
• Change image size settings
• Make a transparent background or simply change the level of transparency pictures, etc.

If such a function, how the creation of the layers was not, then I would have had to process each image for a very long time, because every time I would have to cancel my some specific actions a hundred times to return to the original picture or a certain level of change.

Working with the featured function is very convenient, a special panel has been created for the convenience of working with it. Professionals during image processing do not even close it. The layers are shown as overlay, the first layer is displayed at the top of the list, followed by the second, third, fourth, etc.

If you work in Photoshop more than once a month, and more often, it is necessary to understand that with the "layers" will have to work very often, unless, of course, you need to qualitatively process something or another image or picture. That is why, it is worth dealing with how quickly and properly work with the taskbar under consideration.

On the panel (at the top of it) there are icons, pressing which will allow you to display layers of any type (for those who are not yet informed, the layer type can also be different, for example, text or correction). In order to display certain layers on the panel. You must enable this feature, because it is disabled by default.

Making the background transparent

It often happens so that it is necessary to make a layer transparent and many. For an incomprehensible reason, this need scares. In fact, there is nothing difficult in this, you simply should be carefully familiar with the possible features of the image processing program under consideration and follow the instructions. If you do everything correctly, over time, the creation of a layer will be performed automatically.

So, it took to create a transparent layer, follow these steps:

• On the panel of working with layers it is necessary to find a string that is responsible for creating an overlay effect. If you count the list of functions from the top of the panel of working with layers, then we need will be in the third line.
• In this case, you can manage the degree of transparency of the layer. The smaller the value in the icon is opposite the type of layer, the more transparent it will be.
• Do not forget that before work with any layer, it needs to be allocated.
• In the next line, there is another Fill function, the possibilities of which are similar to the previous (transparency of the layer). Here you can also consolidate the effect you created, by selecting the function to "fix".

You can also see a rattle list of the layers that you created and with which you work.

Create and remove the PHOTOSHOP layer

Those who do not understand the creation of layers and does not try to do this, retouch the image in one single layer. The program under consideration has a lot of very convenient features, one of which is the automatic creation of a layer when using a certain list of tools. If, for example, you decided to make an inscription in the image, then Photoshop will automatically allocate the execution of this function as a separate layer.

Create a layer independently easy:

• First you need to select the icon at the bottom of the Photoshop window (second on the left), which is responsible for creating layers.
• It should be understood that the newly created layer is located above the layer that you have allocated. If, for example, you allocated the fifth layer, and created a new one, which means the created layer will become the fifth, and the old fifth fall below the list on one layer and will become the sixth.
• Do not forget about it if you handle the image and work with several layers.
• On the layer you created, you can do anything - draw, use the fill, make an inscription, etc. If the image processing is performed using multiple layers, it will be more convenient to work with them if everyone gives a name. If not to call the layers, they will simply go under a certain numbering.
• It is also worth noting that several layers can be grouped into one structure. To begin with, create a new folder in which you drag the desired layers using the mouse. Such an operation is a necessity if you work with layers.
• If some layers that during the image processing have stopped being needed, it is best to remove immediately to avoid confusion. To remove the layer, you just need to select it and click on the "Delete" keyboard key.

In principle, it is not difficult to work with layers, the main thing is to carefully study all the functions and capabilities of Photoshop. The only minus of all that is happening is that the program under consideration is English.
