Adobe Photoshop Tutorial: Working With Layers

In the video tutorial below, I demonstrated how to work with layers. Layers are important, element in Adobe photoshop which are used for manipulating their content.

Photoshop layers are like sheets of stacked acetate. You can see through transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You move a layer to position the content of the layer, like sliding a sheet of acetate in a stack. You can also change the opacity of a layer to make content partially transparent.
Transparent areas on a layer let you see layers below. You use layers to perform tasks such as compositing multiple images, adding text to an image, or adding vector graphic shapes. You can apply layer style to add a special effect such as a drop shadow or a glow.
