(ny part of a layer which contains no image information is transparent, so layers below are visible in these areas. 0ach whole layer can also have different opacity settings, so some layers can be partially or completely transparent. The three layers in our example are a photograph, a lower third graphic and a text key. The che2uered areas contain no information 5so they are transparent6.
The main thing to note about layers is that each layer can be edited without affecting any other layer. ,n the example above, you could change the graphic or text at any time without disturbing the photograph. *ou could also re-use the same graphic layer with different photos, or re-use the graphic with different text.
There are so many advantages of working with layers that it)s difficult to summari'e them, but here are a few things you)ll love3
*ou can separate parts of the image and edit them without affecting other parts of the image. *ou can use layers as guides or reference without including them in the final image 5+ust make them transparent before saving the image6. *ou can safely import new images to add to the composition. 4ove the new image around, resi'e it and do whatever you like without damaging the original image. *ou can create multiple versions of a layer and experiment with different effects. *ou might like to keep an original image and make a separate layer to work with, so you always have the original image layer to fall back on. *ou can apply filters and effects to layers independently, e.g. drop-shadow, colour ad+ustments, etc.
