Hello, everyone, and welcome to Section three and the Photoshop layers.
So in this lecture, we're going to talk about new layers.
Let's head over to Photoshop.
I've just opened this up.
I'm going to click and create new.
And we're going to go to document type and select default Photoshop size and we'll call this Layer's
OK.
I'm going here control s control shift.
Sorry.
And I want you to say this is layers.
And we're gonna say this on the desktop.
OK.
So this will be our main file for the whole course.
So like I said in this video, we're going to talk about new layer.
So let's head over to the Layers panel right here.
So we're going to be focusing just on the Layers panel.
So I want you to close out the TAB group and close out this TAB group as well.
And this group as well, because we're not going to be using any of this.
At all, and I want you to just focus on the layers here.
So we're going to be working in the layer menu here and also in the layers panel, OK, because they
have a lot of the similar commands and what not.
So.
What I want you to do is we're going to learn a couple different ways to create a new layer so you can
go to the this little document icon right here, click on that.
That'll create a new layer.
If you hit control, shift and create a new layer and I'll give you an option to label it.
So we're going to just leave it as layer two.
You can give it a color.
Case will get red.
You can set the mode so you can do normal, dissolve, darken, multiply, color, burn, linear burn.
Darker color, etc. What this is going to do is it's going to give it a different filter.
Basically.
So we're just going to work with normal layers.
OK.
So the nice thing about adding this little color code to it is it's easy to see what you're working
on.
So if I went here and I.
Right.
Clicked and we did orange, right, then we would be able to tell.
OK.
My top players red, my middle layers orange.
And then my the lower layer hair is just gray.
Right now I could make that with unlock this if you double click on the lock here.
You just click once.
Let's hear where's the Ladas?
So, yeah, if you just click here, you can unlock it or you can click on a little lock icon itself
and then that will lock it.
So if I.
Right.
Click and I give this a color of yellow.
Now I know yellow is in the bottom or under the middle and red is the top.
So this is an easy way to identify the different layers if you want to do that.
The other way to make a layer is if you go to layer and new, you can create a new layer.
So we'll just give this a color blue list to green one.
Well, given the color green and I'm going to put this red on top, so it's an order.
We can also do a background from layer group.
Group from layers.
Outpoured our report from group.
Bought from layers, framed from layers, convert the frame layer via a copy layer via a cut.
OK.
So a lot of these were going to be covering throughout the course.
I'm not going to go over it right this second, but we will be coming back to this in a little lecture.
But I just want to show you the options that are so like I said, you have.
You can click here, control shift and or click on layer and then do new.
OK.
So that is how you create a new layer in Photoshop.
And like I said, this is one of the most important.
Let's make this blue.
This is one of the most important tools in Photoshop, because everything you build in Photoshop is
based off of layers.
So it's very important to understand the fundamentals of layers and creating a new layer is a fundamental
core.
Someone had file and save that save as just hit controls here.
That'll save it.
And I'll see in the next video.
Thanks for watching.
