β€œYou have a Photoshop document with a background image layer. Describe the steps you would take to add a new shape on a separate layer above the background image, and then change the opacity of the shape layer to 50%. You have a Photoshop document with three layers: Layer 1 (at the top), Layer 2 (in the middle), and Layer 3 (at the bottom). Describe the steps you would take to move Layer 3 to the top of the layer stack, so it is now the topmost layer. You have a Photoshop document with two layers: a photo of a mountain range on the bottom layer and a text layer on top. Describe the steps you would take to move the mountain range photo to be the top layer, obscuring the text.”
