You do not need to save the image in another file format, which means that
you don’t have to flatten the layers.
Create alpha channels or clipping paths for any contours that you might
want to wrap text around.
Create channels for areas where you might want to apply a different spot
color or varnish.
Advanced Image Control cannot read layer information for certain images —
including those that use layer effects. The composite image is used instead.
Advanced Image Control supports PSD files in grayscale, RGB, CMYK, index,
Duotone and multichannel modes.
Working with PSD layers
Experimenting with layers allows you to see different images within the context
of the entire layout. In addition, you can modify the opacity of a layer and try
different blend modes — such as dissolve, lighten, and difference — to see how
these effects work with the rest of a design.
You can use the Layers pane of the Advanced Image Control palette to show,
hide, blend, and change the opacity of layers within PSD pictures. The Advanced
Image Control palette displays information about how the picture file was
created, but does not allow you to make fundamental changes to the picture file:
You cannot create, name, copy, duplicate, align, reposition, delete, or merge
layers using the Layers pane.
If there are no layers in the PSD file, the Advanced Image Control palette
shows only the background layer.
Blending PSD layers
The Blend Mode drop-down menu in the Layers pane lets you control how pixels
in a selected layer interact with pixels in all the layers below the selected layer.
The blend modes are similar to those in image-editing applications: They
include options such as Multiply, Color Dodge, Exclusion, and Saturation.
Showing and hiding Photoshop layers
You can view and print layers that are showing; hidden layers do not display on-
screen or in print. Advanced Image Control 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.
