Adjust a layer's opacity, blending mode, and fill opacity

“

So far we only talked about turning the visibility of layers on and off which we can do with these eye icons next to them but of course we can also adjust their opacity and that is something you can do with this slider up here in the layers panel. So if I start dragging them to the left you can see how it's starting to become see-through or semi-transparent and I can even drag it all the way down which is in a way like similar to hiding it but I'm going to drag it back to 100% and instead of always going to the drop-down and then start dragging what I prefer to do is to use this scrubby slider technique of hovering over the word opacity and then start dragging left and right and if you wait a little bit you will get a feedback of the changes that you are making so there's a slight delay sometimes but you should be able to get the result fairly quickly. I'm going to just set the opacity back to 100% and maybe select the text on the top again we can try it out how it's going to start…
