Adding layers

Newly added layers appear above the selected layer in the Layers palette. You can add layers to an image by using any of the following methods:

  • Create new, blank layers or turn selections into layers.

  • Convert a background into a regular layer or vice versa.

  • Paste selections into the image.

  • Use the Type tool or a shape tool.

  • Duplicate an existing layer.

    You can create up to 8000 layers in an image, each with its own blending mode and opacity. However, memory constraints may lower this limit.
