In Photoshop, you can work on each layer independently and create the desired effect. You can also
                  change the stacking order and can link the layers to work on them simultaneously. When working with
                  an image, it is advisable to use a new layer above it to apply filters or for retouching tools. If you are
                  unhappy with the effect, you can simply delete the layer without making any change in the original
                  image. All the layers are visible in the Layers panel.

                       Creating a New Layer

                  In order to create a new layer, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1:  Click on the Layer menu from the Application Bar. A drop-down menu appears.
                  Step 2:  Select the New option from the drop-down menu. A submenu appears.
                  Step 3:  Select the Layer option from the submenu.

                  Step 4:   The New Layer dialog box appears. Type a name for the layer in the Name box and click on
                          the OK button.

                  The new layer will appear above the background layer in the Layers panel. By default, they are
                  named as Layer 1, Layer 2, … and so on.

                  Layers panel allows you to:
                      change the visibility of a layer to on and off by clicking on the eye icon next to the layer name. If
                    you see the eye icon, it means the layer visibility is on. Clicking on the eye again will make the layer
                    invisible.
                     rename a layer by double-clicking on the layer name.
