When you open your image to edit it in Photoshop it is highly recommended that you create a copy of your background layer (aka your image). If you use default settings, your new layer will be a blank transparent one. You also have options such as opacity, color or blending mode. You can create a new layer with the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N (Window) or Shift+Cmd+N (Mac).Ī dialog panel will appear where you can rename the new layer. If there is something that characterizes Photoshop is its workflow based in layers.
