Working with layers 331

an equivalent command on the Adjust menu, but unlike the

command, the adjustment layer does not change image pixels.

Adjustment layers cannot be the bottom layer. You cannot delete other

layers if deleting them would cause an adjustment layer to become the

bottom layer. For more information, see “Using adjustment layers” on

page 359.

Using layers with photos

When you open a digital photo or a scanned image, the image appears

on the background layer. For most photographic enhancements, such

as cropping, correcting colors, or retouching, you do not need to add

additional layers. By adding layers as you work, however, you can

create interesting effects and make corrections more easily. The

following table provides examples.

To Do the following

Preserve the original

image before making

changes

Make a duplicate of the background layer by

choosing Layers

 Duplicate. To work on the

duplicate layer, make it the active layer by

clicking it on the Layers palette.

Make color and tonal

corrections

Use adjustment layers instead of changing the

image directly. For more information about

using adjustment layers, see “Using adjustment

layers” on page 359.

Add text or graphics Create text and graphics, such as lines and

shapes, on vector layers to make them easier to

edit. For more information about adding text,

see “Working with text” on page 531. For more

information about vector graphics, see

“Drawing and editing vector objects” on

page 551.
