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.
