Layers
In computer graphics and design, layers refer to a way of organizing and manipulating visual elements in a digital image or design project. Layers allow you to work on different parts of a design independently without affecting other parts of the design. This makes it easier to make changes, experiment with different design ideas, and create more complex designs.
Each layer represents a separate element or group of elements in the design project, such as a background image, text, or a specific graphic element. Layers can be stacked on top of each other, with the top layer being the one that is most visible. By adjusting the opacity or blending mode of a layer, you can control how it interacts with the other layers in the design.
Layers can be created, deleted, renamed, grouped, and reordered as needed. They can also be locked, hidden, or made visible to facilitate editing and design work.
Layers are commonly used in a variety of design software, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and In Design, as well as other software programs that allow for image editing and graphic design. The use of layers is a fundamental concept in digital design, and understanding how to work with layers is an essential skill for designers, artists, and anyone working with digital images.
