PS - Module 02

Module 02 vocabulary for Photoshop Course - Project Setup and Layer Fundamentals

TermDefinition
Layers Individual elements or images stacked on top of each other in Photoshop, allowing for non-destructive editing and easier manipulation of separate parts of a design.
Layer Properties Characteristics and settings that can be adjusted for each layer, such as opacity, fill, and blending mode.
Adjustment Layers Layers that apply color and tonal adjustments to layers beneath them without permanently altering the original image.
Layer Masks A tool that allows for non-destructive editing by concealing or revealing parts of a layer without permanently erasing any pixels.
Clipping Masks A group of layers to which a mask is applied, where the bottom most layer defines the visible boundaries of the entire group.
Blending Modes Settings that determine how a layer's pixels blend with the pixels of the layers beneath it.
Smart Objects Layers that contain image data from raster or vector images, allowing for non-destructive scaling, rotation, and other transformations.
Destructive Editing Editing that permanently alters the original image data, making it impossible to revert to the original state.
Non-Destructive Editing Editing techniques that do not permanently alter the original image data, allowing for adjustments and reversibility.
Opacity The transparency level of a layer, ranging from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque).
Photo Collage A composite image made by combining multiple photos into one cohesive design.
Mood Board A visual representation of a concept or theme, created by combining various images, colors, and text to convey a particular style or feeling.
Layer Groups A collection of layers organized into a folder-like structure that can be managed together while maintaining individual layer properties.
Layer Comps Saved variations of layer visibility and position settings within a document, allowing quick switching between different versions of a design.
Fill vs. Opacity Two different ways to control layer transparency - Fill affects only the layer content while Opacity affects the entire layer including effects.
Background Layer The base layer in a Photoshop document that has special properties - it cannot be moved or have transparency.
Layer Lock Options Various ways to protect layer content from accidental changes, including transparency, position, and complete locks.
Color Coding A system for organizing layers by assigning different colors to layer labels for easy visual identification.
Layer Search A feature that allows finding specific layers by name, type, effect, color, or other attributes.
Layer Effects Non-destructive special effects that can be applied to layers, including shadows, glows, and bevels.
Layer Linking A feature that connects multiple layers so they can be transformed or moved together while remaining separate.
Smart Filter A non-destructive filter applied to a Smart Object that can be modified or removed at any time.
Blend If Advanced blending options that control how layers interact based on the brightness values of the current and underlying layers.
Layer Rasterization The process of converting a Smart Object, text, or shape layer into pixels, making it no longer editable in its original form.
Layer Arrangement The order of layers in the stack that determines their visibility and how they interact with each other.
Layer Thumbnails Small preview images in the Layers panel that show the content of each layer.
Vector Masks Resolution-independent masks created using shapes or paths that can be edited at any time without quality loss.
Nested Smart Objects Smart Objects contained within other Smart Objects, allowing for complex non-destructive editing workflows.
Layer Effects Palette A dialog box containing all available layer effects and their settings, allowing for detailed customization of layer appearances.
