How do I bring an image forward in Adobe Express?

Published in Adobe Express Layers 2 mins read

You can bring an image forward in Adobe Express using two straightforward methods. The updated Adobe Express editor offers these simple approaches to adjust image layering.

Methods to Bring an Image Forward:

Here are the two primary ways to bring an image forward in your Adobe Express project:

1. Right-Click Method:

  • Select the Image: First, click on the image you want to bring forward.

  • Right-Click: Right-click on the selected image.

  • Choose "Bring Forward": From the context menu that appears, select the option labeled "Bring Forward." This will move the image one layer closer to the top. If you want to bring it all the way to the front, you may need to repeat this process if there are multiple images.

    • Alternatively, you can select "Send Backward" to move the image one layer back.

2. Layer Tool (Drag & Drop) Method:

  • Locate the Layer Tool: In the top right of the Adobe Express editor, find the layer tool icon. This usually looks like a stack of overlapping squares.

  • Open the Layers Panel: Clicking the icon opens the layers panel showing all elements in your project.

  • Drag and Drop: In the layers panel, find your image's layer. Click and drag that layer upwards in the list. The higher the image layer is in the list, the more forward it will appear on the canvas. Dragging the layer to the top brings it fully forward.

    • Similarly, you can drag a layer down to send it behind other layers.

Method Steps Notes
Right-Click Select image, right-click, choose "Bring Forward" or "Send Backward." Moves the image one layer at a time.
Drag and Drop Open layers panel, find image layer, drag and drop the layer to adjust its order. Allows direct positioning of image within the layer hierarchy.

By using either the right-click menu or the layer tool, you can easily manage the layering of images in Adobe Express, ensuring your compositions appear exactly as intended.
