• To remove the layer. Select the layer and click - in the Layers Toolbar title.

• To change the blending mode of the layer. Set the Layer Blending mode in the drop-
down list under the word Layers or in the fly-out menu indicated by the Gear icon
underneath the + icon. You cannot set the blending mode for the first layer because it is not
mixed with anything — it is the baseline image. More on blending modes in the chapter

“Working with Layers.”

• Layer Transparency Setting. Click on the drop-down menu with percentages near the word
Opacity. Drag the slider to customize the opacity for the selected layer. Opacity controls
how opaque a layer is (and is the opposite of transparency).

• Access Advanced Settings and Functions of a Layer. Click on the Gear icon below the +
icon. A context menu appears with additional features to apply to the layer.

• To Change the Order of Layers. All the layers except the first are movable. Click on the
layer and drag to move the selected layer to the new location. Changing the stacking order
or layers can affect the order of operation (how images are developed) which can change its
appearance.

• Show / Hide the Layer. Click on the eyeball on the left side of a layer to toggle between

visible and hidden.
You’ll learn more about layers in the chapter “Working with Layers.”
