How Do You Move Layers in Adobe Fresco?

Published in Adobe Fresco Layers 2 mins read

To move a layer in Adobe Fresco, long-press on the layer you want to move and then drag it up or down to its desired position within the layer stack.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process:

  • Identify the Layer: First, locate the layer you want to reposition in the Layers panel.
  • Initiate the Move: Long-press (press and hold) on the layer's thumbnail or name in the Layers panel. This action will activate the layer for dragging.
  • Drag and Drop: While still holding your finger (or stylus) on the layer, drag it up or down within the Layers panel. A visual indicator will appear, showing you where the layer will be placed when you release it.
  • Release to Place: Once you've positioned the layer where you want it, release your finger (or stylus). The layer will now be in its new location in the layer hierarchy.

Important Considerations:

  • Layer Hierarchy: The order of layers matters. Layers higher in the stack appear on top of layers lower in the stack. This determines which elements are visible and how they interact.
  • Layer Groups: If a layer is within a group, you can only move it within that group. To move a layer outside of its group, you may need to ungroup it first.
  • Locked Layers: You cannot move locked layers until they are unlocked. Look for the lock icon on the layer in the Layers panel. Tap the lock icon to unlock the layer.

By understanding these steps and considerations, you can efficiently manage your layers in Adobe Fresco and create complex and visually appealing artwork.
