Layers
Layers allow you to work on one element of an image without disturbing the others. Think of layers as sheets of acetate stacked one on top of the other.

As you add layers to an image, it’s helpful to give them names that reflect their content. Descriptive names make layers easy to identify in the palette.
2) Position the Layers
3) Layer Opacity
A layer’s opacity determines to what degree it obscures or reveals the layer beneath it. A layer with 1% opacity appears nearly transparent, whereas one with 100% opacity appears completely opaque.
