In order to work across layers you must have more than2 layers.
To move a particular layer down - ctrl + [
To move a particular layer up - ctrl + ]
Consider2 layers in photoshop.
Layer_1 = with black color filled
Layer_2 = a red_circle/ image placed
Now the circle will not display on the main screen since the black fill is at the top of the circle layer. Now by selecting circle layer(Layer_2) click ctr + ].
Now the circle will display with he backgrond of balck color. Since the circle layer(Layer_2) is first now.
Other layer shortcuts.
Duplicate a layer = ctrl + J
new layer/ empty layer = ctrl + alt + shift + n
You can also move the layers upand down by simply select and drag a particular layers.
Thanks much!!
Use the Move tool (Select section of the toolbox), to drag the layer from the source image to the destination image.
The old method use to be this:
-Open the two images you want to use.
-In the Layers panel of the source image, select the layer that you want to copy.
-Do one of the following: Choose Select > All to select all of the pixels in the layer, and choose Edit > Copy.
If you want to follow newer method of editing images on layers (depending on your software version):
- You can now convert layer into Smart Objects that retains editing information that you can keep adjusting should your idea's change. It's basically, 'Flexible editing layer' that holds parameters - including filters.
I hope this helps in your Image manipulation projects.
