ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH LAYERS • You can separate parts of the image and edit them without affecting other parts of the image. • You can use layers as guides or reference without including them in the final image (just make them transparent before saving the image). • You can safely import new images to add to the composition. Move the new image around, resize it and do whatever you like without damaging the original image.
