Layers and Transparent Backgrounds
When you create a new Image layer, it displays with a transparent back-
ground. A checkerboard pattern is displayed in the Viewer for the layer in-
dicating that this is transparent. This allows the layers underneath a layer
to also be visible. As you develop the layer by adding images and other
shapes and objects, you can place your new layer content where it needs
to be in the overall image.
