Working with layers 347
Grouping layers
You can create layer groups to group multiple layers together. Layer
groups let you
• organize the Layers palette
• set layer properties, such as opacity and blend mode, for the
whole group
• limit the effect of adjustment and mask layers to the layers
underneath the active layer rather than to the entire image
• move all grouped layers together in the stacking order
• move linked layers together on the image canvas
• delete all layers in the group
Layer groups can contain raster, vector, art media, mask, and
adjustment layers and must contain at least one layer. Layer groups can
also contain other layer groups, called nested groups. If you move all
of the layers out of a layer group, Corel PaintShop Pro deletes the layer
group.
For information about viewing layer groups, see “To expand or collapse
a vector layer or layer group” on page 337.
To create a layer group
Edit workspace
1 On the Layers palette, select the first layer you want to include in
the layer group.
2 From the drop-list on the toolbar of the Layers palette, choose
New Layer Group.
The layer group is created, and the selected layer becomes part of
the layer group. By default, the layer group name contains
“Group” plus a number (for example, “Group 1”).
