Color coding layers


    Color coding layers and layer sets makes it easier to locate related layers in the Layers palette.

To assign a color to a layer or layer set:

    • (Photoshop) Select a layer or layer set, and choose Layer Properties or Layer Set Properties from the Layers menu or the Layers palette menu.
    • (ImageReady) Select a layer or layer set, and choose Layer Options or Layer Set Options from the Layers menu or the Layers palette menu.
    • For layer sets, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and double-click the layer set's name in the Layers palette.
  2. Choose a color from the Color pop-up menu, and click OK.
