When you open a file in Photoshop, the first layer is usually the Background layer, which is filled with
                  white colour by default. This layer is locked, meaning you cannot change its stacking order, blending
                  mode, or opacity. However, you can unlock it by double-clicking the lock icon, which converts it into a
                  regular layer, allowing you to make changes such as adjusting its position, blending, or opacity.


                       Creating a New Layer

                  In order to create a new layer, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1:  Click on the Layer menu from the Menu 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. All the layers are visible 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 icon again will make the
                    layer invisible.
                     rename a layer by double-clicking on the layer name.
                      change the order of the layers by clicking and dragging the layer up/down to the new position in the
                    Layers panel.
