Layers are by far the most important element of Photoshop - and, in my opinion, they're one of the reasons many people throw their arms up in frustration.

I like to think of layers as sheets of glass stacked on top of one another that you'll use to create a final product. What It Does: A layer can be used for an image, text, brush strokes, background colors, patterns, and filters.
