Hi there,
I’ve got a photoshop file that was given to me with plenty of layers. I’m looking at the layers palette. Some of the layers are within layers, and they have a little icon of an arrow pointing downwards. Can anyone tell me what this means? Does it just mean it’s within the a higher-up layer, or is there more to it?
Again, in the layers palette, some of them have two images – first a box with the actual image contained in that layer, and then a link icon, and then a box with gradation between black and white. Again, can someone explain this second box? I think it’s the mask, but how did they apply gradation to the mask?
Thanks.
