To arrange layers in Adobe Fresco, you move them within the Layers panel. This allows you to control their stacking order, determining which elements appear in front of or behind others in your artwork.
Understanding Layer Order
The order of layers in the Layers panel directly corresponds to their visual order on your canvas. Layers higher up in the list appear in front of layers lower down.
Steps to Arrange Layers
Arranging layers in Fresco is a simple drag-and-drop process using the Layers panel.
Here's how to do it:
- Open the Layers Panel: If it's not already open, tap the Layers icon (the stack of squares) on the taskbar to reveal the Layers panel.
- Locate the Layer: Find the layer you want to move within the list of layers.
- Long-Press and Drag: According to the provided reference, long-press on the layer and then drag it up or down to the desired location in the layer hierarchy.
- As you drag, a line will appear indicating where the layer will be placed when you release it.
- Drop the Layer: Release your finger or stylus when the layer is in the correct position.
Your layer is now repositioned in the stacking order.
Managing Multiple Layers
The reference also mentions that you can select multiple layers. While the primary method for arranging layers described is for individual layers using long-press and drag, selecting multiple layers in Fresco is useful for performing other batch operations like transforming, adjusting opacity or blend modes, changing visibility, or creating groups simultaneously. However, the core method for repositioning them in the hierarchy is the long-press and drag for one layer at a time.
Arranging your layers effectively is crucial for organizing your artwork and achieving the desired visual composition in Adobe Fresco.
