Creating Layer Order in Adobe Photoshop

" This is Kyle with Expert Village. I am going to show you some tips on layers with photoshop. The next part on layers is pulling them up and down. Now your most important thing you can have on a layer is we scan up, we have a text tool, we had our other fire I wanted a couple of them. We had the Hollywood sign, so I am going to put all the layers back on now. Okay now the next thing about layers is the positioning of the layer. Now you will often get confused if you start doing a whole lot of layers as to where they should go. For instance this layer here, every little thing it fits behind, layer 11 which is this one say the graphic does not work. Now it is a good way if you want to make three dimensional type effects on other graphics but on this particular one it does not work, so it has to be the top, the closer it is to the top, the closer it is to you on the screen. So for instance we want our main graph that is layer 18. Now if you want to name this just right click it and then you can name it flame right there, just drop it in flame and then that way it kind of keeps it, there are just little bitty thumbnails that are hard to see no matter what, so it is just basically a reference tool but if you want to name it you just right click it and name it so I will just name it flame. Now I know my flame is probably the central focus of this picture so I am going to pull it up here and I am going to pull it right below but I want to make sure it does not crossover these. That is my tower. Your tower should always be on very top because you do not want anything to get in their way. "
