Well, this semester we will doing lots of assignments and coursework on the photoshop..so I must conduct some research on adobe photoshop...The following posts on this category, will include videos of tutorial on how to master photoshop.. Then, I will try to put some work which could be done by me to reflect what I learnt in the class as well as through the internet^.^

Then, since this layer is locked, we have to duplicate it in order to enable we do or make some changes for that...hence, the second layer we need to rename it so that we can make some modifications on particular photo..

One important fact on layer is that the icon of the 'eye' can ensure us to know whether our layer is visible 

for us. When the layer is not visible, we can carry out our work more easily. This is because there will be less distractions:
