To move layers in Photoshop Express, simply hover your mouse over the layer you want to move. A hand icon will appear. Then, click and drag the layer up or down in the layer stack to reposition it. This changes the order in which layers are displayed, affecting which elements appear on top of others in your image. For example, a layer moved to the top will appear above all other layers.
Understanding Layer Stacking in Photoshop Express
The layer stack, shown in the Layers panel, determines the visual order of your image elements. Layers at the top of the stack are visible in front of those below. Moving a layer changes its position within this stack, altering the final image appearance.
Practical Examples:
- Bringing an element to the front: If you have a text layer partially obscured by an image layer, moving the text layer to the top of the stack will make it fully visible.
- Adjusting overlapping elements: If you've added multiple image overlays, you can use layer movement to precisely control which parts are visible and which are hidden.
Utilizing the Layer Panel
The layer panel, usually found on the left or right side of the Photoshop Express interface, displays all active layers. It provides visual cues for layer visibility, lock status and helps in identifying the layer you wish to move.
Remember, this method is described based on general knowledge of image editing software and visual cues from the provided video snippet. The precise steps may vary slightly depending on your device and Photoshop Express version.
