Delete a layer

Deleting layers that you no longer need reduces the size of your image file.

  1. In the Editor, select the layer in the Layers palette.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Drag the layer to the Delete Layer icon  at the top of the Layers palette.

    • Click the Delete Layer icon at the top of the Layers palette, and click Yes in the delete confirmation dialog box. To bypass this dialog box, press Alt as you click the Delete icon.

    • Choose Delete Layer from either the Layer menu or the Layers palette More menu, and click Yes.
