Showing or hiding layers

You can control the view of an image in the document window by changing the layer

visibility settings. This is helpful in both compositing an image and applying effects. For

example, you can hide one layer to gain better visibility of the layer below it. Or, you

can set up different states of an image to create rollover effects for use on the Web. For

more information, see “Creating rollovers” on page 853.

In the example on the right, the layer containing the background is hidden; in

the example on the left, the layer containing the background is visible.

Layer visibility settings stay active when you print or save documents to certain file

formats. In other words, the content of hidden layers does not print and is not saved.

However, saving a document in RIFF or PSD format preserves hidden layers as part of

the document. For more information, see “Importing and exporting layers” on

page 525.

To show or hide a layer or the canvas

•In the Layers panel, click the eye icon next to the layer name or the canvas.

When the eye is shut , the layer is hidden in the document window. When the

eye is open , the layer is visible in the document window.
