1. First, we first open a picture material psd file like this:
2. When we have a lot of layers in a document, if we need to watch only a certain type of layer, we can select these by the type, name, effect, mode, attribute, color, and selection on the layer panel There are a variety of filtering methods to filter unnecessary layers. For example, I choose the type here. When I click the first icon behind the type, it is a pixel layer filter. Let ’s take a look. It is a pixel layer. Note that when our filter is turned on, the icon that turns on or off the layer filtering behind is red, as shown in the figure:
3. If I click on the small icon again, the pixel layer filter can be turned off, then the switch becomes gray. Suppose I only want to watch the adjustment layer at this time, I can click on the second icon to adjust the layer filter. Here, not only can I turn on or off a filter, I can also turn on two kinds, what you see now is the adjustment layer And the text layer, as shown:
4. If I click the fifth icon again, I see the adjustment layer plus the text layer and the smart object layer, so the fifth icon is the icon of the smart object filter, as shown in the figure:
5. Now I close all three. The fourth button is to watch the shape layer, which is the shape layer filter. Then because we don't have a shape layer here, the filtered result is "no layer matches this filter", as shown in the figure:
6. In addition to filtering and viewing layers by type, we can also view by layer name. For example, if I enter a color level in the name of the layer, the layer containing the name of the color level will be displayed, as shown in the figure:
7. Next, we choose the effect option, the effect is our layer style, as shown in the figure:
8. Next, let's look at the mode, that is, which blending mode layer is used. Suppose I set the blending mode of this text layer to positive overlay. When I select positive overlay in the filter option of mode At the time, you can see this text layer, as shown:
9. The next step is the properties of the layer, that is, whether it is visible or not, whether it is a locked link, you can select the layer you want to see in the drop-down menu. The next one is the color, so now we do n’t have a layer color here. Suppose I select this text layer, click the right mouse button in its eye panel, and set it to red. When we click red here, we can filter Out of the text layer, as shown:
10. The last one is selected. There are no selected layers. Now I select the two adjustment layers above, and then turn on the selected function. At this time, only the layers I selected will be in Displayed in the layer panel, other layers will not be displayed in this layer panel, as shown in the figure:
11. The layer search and filter function can easily let us choose the layer we want to see among many layers.
