Use CS6 myself so it looks different, but I'd say it's a Shape Layer and Vector Mask

Gautam, I see no funny looking white or gray layer.

When you make a screen shot like this, open it in Photoshop and use the Brush Tool or the Custom Shape Tool with an arrow shape to point out the area or object of concern.

Are you talking about this?

Shape Layers
Before we check out the rest of the Shape tools, let’s quickly take a look at what’s happening in the Layers panel. If you remember at the beginning of the tutorial, we learned that to draw vector shapes in Photoshop, we need to make sure we have the Shape Layers option selected in the Options Bar, and now that I’ve drawn a shape, we see that I have an actual Shape layer in my document, which Photoshop has named "Shape 1". Each new vector shape we draw is placed on its own Shape layer which look different from normal pixel-based layers. On the left of a Shape layer is a color swatch icon, which displays the current color of our shape, and to the right of the color swatch is a vector mask thumbnail

Gautam this reads, "Yes I am yes I am talk about that"

My name is Sam and not Iam.

My first thoughts when he first addressed you as Iam was the pet food brand..... ...... IAMS..

But Sam I am and I am Sam just have such a nice ring, no matter how you rearrange them! "I am" may be just a nick name. Gotta admit, it might stick Sam.

I don't mind nicknames, but this one makes for hard and confused reading............at least for me. To me it looks like a typo.

Yeah I agree with the rest of u , Iam sounds much more catchy than sam , so lets just stick to calling him Iam LOOOL
