6. Using the Move tool, click and drag the Title layer content until smart
guides show it aligned horizontally and vertically to the canvas.

Remember, you earlier aligned the Parchment layer content to be centered on the Note:
canvas, so this step aligns the Title layer content to the Parchment layer as well as to the Command/Control-
canvas.
clicking a layer
thumbnail results in
a selection around the
contents of that layer.

7. In the Layers panel, press Command/Control and click the Parchment
layer name to add that layer to the active selection.
Since the Title layer was already selected, the Parchment layer should now be a second
selected (highlighted) layer.
You can select noncontiguous layers by pressing Command/Control. You can select
contiguous layers by pressing Shift while you click.

8. With the two layers selected, click the Create a New Group button at the
bottom of the panel.
This button creates a group that automatically contains the selected layers. The new
group is automatically named “Group N” (N is simply a sequential number); of course,
you can rename a layer group just as easily as you can rename a layer.

Click here to open the Note:
panel Options menu.
You can also choose New
Group from Layers in the
Two layers are
selected. The new group panel Options menu.
automatically contains
the selected layers.
Create a New
Group button

To create a new empty layer group, make sure nothing is selected in the Layers panel
before clicking the Create a New Group button. Alternatively, choose New Group in
the panel Options menu; this option results in an empty layer group even if layers are
currently selected.

9. Double-click the Group 1 name in the Layers panel to highlight it, then type
Parchment Title. 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.
