Layers can be imagined as multiple transparent sheets stacked on top of one another. Layers let
you work with one element of an image without affecting the other elements. You can see through
transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You can move a layer to position the content on the
layer or change the opacity of a layer to make content partially transparent.
