How to Move Layers at DesignerDigitals
Busy Busy Busy! I don't know about you, but that's how I feel. All kinds of running around getting ready for school. Hard to believe I'm the mother of a freshman in high school. It seems like just last year I was volunteering in kindergarten. But now it's a whole new world of crazy schedules and chauffeur-ring! lol! But back to school also means back-to-scrapping for me with some more time to create! To help things along we have over 45 new and fabulous items in the store including the 25 cent items.

Adobe Photoshop or Elements Tip of the Week:
Photoshop Ups and Downs: How to Move Layers in the Layers Palette
You can also watch this tip on video on our blog: Digital Scrapbooking Tips and Tricks: Shortcuts to Move Layers [Video]
On a recent outing to an amusement park, I rode the beautiful, old-fashioned carousel with my son. After a few rounds I found myself asking what was so appealing about the repetitive up and down, round and round motion. Thankfully the ride ended before I turned green. And fortunately, there are shortcuts for moving layers up and down in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements that are quick and easy!
When you move a new image onto your Photoshop or Photoshop Elements project, the software places it one layer above the selected layer. Sometimes this hides the new image behind existing layers.
You can move the new layer up in the hierarchy several ways:
- Click and drag the layer up in the Layers Palette
- Press the Ctrl + Right Bracket ] key (Mac: Cmd + ] key) to move the layer up one position. Repeat the keystrokes until the layer is in place.
- Press Shift + Ctrl + Right Bracket ] key (Mac: Shift + Cmd + ] ) to move the layer to the top of your project.
- Click and drag the layer down in the Layers Palette
- Press the Ctrl + Left Bracket [ key (Mac: Cmd + [ key) to move the layer down one position. Repeat the keystrokes until the layer is in place.
- Press Shift + Ctrl + Left Bracket [ key (Mac: Shift + Cmd + [ ) to move the layer to the bottom of your project.
Have a great week and we'll see you at DesignerDigitals!
