produce typographic quality text and images comparable
to traditional typography and printing. This technology
allows individuals, businesses, and other organizations
to self-publish a wide range of printed matter.
 DTP skills and software used for common paper and
book publishing are sometimes used to create graphics
for point of sale displays, promotional items, trade show
exhibits, retail package designs and outdoor signs.

Layers

 Learning Layer Basics


 One of the most useful features of applications
like Photoshop is the ability to work with layers.
Layers allow you to have several pieces of
images in the same file, which can be arranged
on top of each other to create a complete image
Using Layers palette

Using Layers palette

 Using Layers palette




 When you finish editing all the layers in your image, you can merge or flatten layers to reduce the file size. Flattening combines all the layers into a single background layer. However, you cannot edit layers once you’ve flattened them, so you shouldn’t flatten an image until you are certain that you’re

Creating new Layers
 : From the Layers menu select Newand then
Layer
Rearranging Layers
 The stacking order is determined by the order in
the layer’s palette. In the layer’s palette, drag the
circle layer so that it is above the rectangle layer.
Blending Layers/Layer Style
 Once you have an image with more than one layer, the layers can be
 blended together in a variety of ways. One way is to use modes. By
 default, a layer will block out any sections of layers that it covers.
 Blending modes allow you to combine layers in a variety of ways.
Another
 way is to use layer transparency settings to simply make a layer partially
 transparent. A layer mask can also be used to hide parts of a layer a bit
more selectively.
 Select the Circle layer. Locate the Opacity option on the layer’s palette. To
use this option, you can either click the arrow and drag the slider or you
can enter amounts in the box. Higher amounts mean the layer will be
more opaque. Lower amounts mean the layer will be more transparent.
Flattening and saving files

 When you finish editing all the layers in your image, you can
merge or flatten layers to reduce the file size. Flattening
combines all the layers into a single background layer.
However, you cannot edit layers once you’ve flattened them, so
you shouldn’t flatten an image until you are certain that you’re

 satisfied with all your design decisions. Rather than flattening


your original PSD files, it’s a good idea to save a copy of the
file with its layers intact, in case you need to edit a layer later.
 NOTE: If the sizes do not appear in the status bar, click the
status bar pop-up menu arrow, and choose Show > Document
Sizes.
