# 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.
