Showing and hiding Photoshop layers

You can view and print layers that are showing; hidden layers do not display on-screen or in print. PSD Import allows you to hide any layer, including the background layer.

  • To show a layer, click the empty box icon to the left of the layer.
  • To show all layers, Option+Shift+click/Alt+Shift+click the empty box icon.
  • To hide a layer, click the eye icon QuarkXpress icon psd import eye Showing and hiding Photoshop layers.
  • To hide all but one layer, Option+click/Alt+click the eye icon QuarkXpress icon psd import eye Showing and hiding Photoshop layers.

If changing the blending and opacity of layers produces undesirable results, you can revert the layers to their original state in the imported PSD file with the Revert Layer or Revert All Layers options in the PSD Import palette menu.
