11. Double-click the Group 1 name in the Layers panel to highlight it, then
type Logos. Press Return/Enter to finalize the new layer group name.

As with any other layer, you should name groups based on what they contain so you can
easily identify them later.

Note:
You can create up to
ten levels of nested layer
groups, or groups inside
of other groups.

12. Click the arrow to the left of the Logos group name to expand the layer group.
You have to expand the layer group to be able to access and edit individual layers in the
group. If you select the entire layer group, you can move all layers within the group at
the same time. Layers in the group maintain their position relative to one another.

Note:
You can click the eye icon
for a layer folder to hide
the entire layer group
(and all layers inside the
folder).

13. Save the file and continue to the next exercise.

Photoshop makes scaling, rotating, and other transformations fairly easy to implement,
but it is important to realize the potential impact of your transformations.

1. With aftermath.psd open, click the Tantamount layer (in the Logos
folder) in the Layers panel to select only that layer.

3. In the Options bar, make sure the Auto-Select option is not checked.
When Auto-Select is checked, you can click in the image window and drag to move
the contents of the layer containing the pixels where you click; you do not need to first
select the layer in the Layers panel before moving the layer content. This is very useful
in some cases, as you will see later in this project. However, the Auto-Select option is not
very useful when the contents of multiple layers are stacked on top of each other (as is
the case in your file as it exists now).
