I am doing a Total Training class on CS4 PhotoShop. In the section on Learning about Layers I have opened two jpg files.

I double-clicked on the Background Layer of the Statue jpg and changed the name to Statue. All worked okay.

I then selected the unwanted Background area and deleted it.

I then moved the Clouds jpg which created a new Layer. When I double-clicked to change the Layer name to Clouds, the Layer box did not open but the Layer Style box opened.

I was only able to change the name of the Layer via the Layer Properties box.

Any thoughts???

Thank you,
Sherry

You clicked on the layer box and not on the text of the name.

Dah … tho I thought I tried it all and the click on the box was all that was necessary. I’ll give it a go tomorrow!

Thanks so much, I can always count on the Forum :o)

Yep, it worked! Silly me, the video even had a special note about clicking directly on the name … color me red 😮

Thanks for the direction!
