92 Project 1: Composite Movie AdArrange Layer Position and Stacking OrderThe ad is almost final, but a few pieces are still not quite in position. You already know you can use the Move tool to move the contents of a layer around on the canvas. You can also move a layer to any position in the stacking order (the top-to-bottom position of a layer) by simply dragging it to a new position in the Layers panel. 1. With aftermath.psd open, make all layers visible.2. Click the Bricks layer in the Layers panel and drag up. When a heavy bar appears below the Title layer, release the mouse button.The heavy line indicates where the layer will be positioned when you release the mouse button.Be careful when dragging layers near a layer group. If the border appears around a layer group, releasing the mouse button would place the dragged layer inside that group. 3. Repeat the process to move the Lightning layer below the Skyline layer.4. Choose the Move tool, and check the Auto-Select option in the Options bar. Open the attached menu (to the right of the Auto-Select check box) and choose Layer.When Layer is selected in the Auto-Select menu, only the relevant layer will move, even if it is part of a layer group. If you want all layers in a group containing the selected layer to move, choose Group in the menu. 5. In the document window, click any pixel in the movie title and drag down until the title appears in the bottom half of the canvas.Your layers should appear in the same order as shown in the following image.When Auto-Select is active, clicking in the document window automatically selects the relevant layer.Check the Auto-Select option and choose Layer in the menu.Click any pixel in the title layer content and drag to move that layer%u2019s content.Be careful to not click an area in which the layer is transparent.Note:Press Command/Control-[ (left bracket) to move a layer down in the stacking order.Press Command/Control-] (right bracket) to move a layer up in the stacking order.
