1. What is the advantage of using layers? The advantage of using layers is that they let you edit and move different parts of an image separately. This makes it easier to work on one part of the image without affecting the others. You can also hide layers while working on other parts.
2. When you create a new layer, where does it appear in the Layers panel stack? When you create a new layer, it appears directly above the currently selected layer in the Layers panel. If no layer is selected, the new layer appears at the top of the list.
3. How can you make artwork on one layer appear in front of artwork on another layer? You can move layers up or down in the Layers panel to change the stacking order. Layers higher in the panel appear in front of layers below them. You can also use the Layer > Arrange options such as Bring To Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, or Send To Back.
4. How can you apply a layer style? To apply a layer style, first select the layer. Then click the Add a Layer Style button in the Layers panel or go to Layer > Layer Style and choose the style you want.
5. To edit a Gradient Fill layer by dragging on-canvas controls, what two things should you make sure to do? You should make sure the Gradient Fill layer is selected and that the Gradient tool is selected. This allows the on-canvas gradient editor to appear so you can adjust the gradient directly.
6. Where can you see detailed options for editing a Gradient Fill layer? Detailed options for editing a Gradient Fill layer are available in the Properties panel, specifically in the Gradient Controls section when the Gradient Fill layer is selected.
