DUPLICATING A LAYER
Duplicating a layer serves various purposes, like preserving the original layer’s content before
making changes to the original content. It also enables us to create different versions or variations
of an element in our artwork.
To duplicate a layer, follow the given steps:
1 Select the layer that
you want to duplicate.
2 Click on the Duplicate layer or mask
button at the bottom of the Layers docker.
HIDING A LAYER
Hiding a layer helps us focus on specific elements. You can hide a particular layer temporarily
while working on other layers. Imagine you are working on a detailed background but need to
focus on adding details to a character in the foreground.
By hiding the background layer temporarily, you can concentrate on the character without
distractions. After you are done working on the object, you can unhide the layer.
For hiding a layer, click on the open-eye-shape icon in the beginning of the layer name in
the Layers docker.
For unhiding a layer, click on the closed-eye-shape icon in the beginning of the hidden
layer’s name in the Layers docker. The icon will change to the open-eye-shape icon again,
and the content of the layer will also become visible.
