I've just started my web development freelance career… I've downloaded a PSD Web Template, I want to practice converting those templates into working websites.
Before I start that, I have one question (for now
).
I noticed when I opened the PSD, I opened up the layers palette… Because I'm new to this, it surprised me to see a few layer groups & independent layers.
imp:
Before I start experimenting;
I know how to hide multiple layers & independent layers. I also know it would take a long time to go through and individually hide all of the layers I don't want. I'm fine with that though. This is my first practice project, so… I don't mind doing things a long/hard way. As long as I'm learning I don't mind.
With that said, I have already painstakingly hidden all layers… Except for one (I know, I know… I'm crazy).
With that one layer showing. Can I create a new document out of that layer?
I know I probably could have just used the clipper tool, but… I don't like how I'm constrained to boxes and rectangles. I don't need all of that extra information that the clipper tool forces you to take.
Side note: after making a clipping… Would I be able to use the freeform selection tool in conjunction with the clipper tool?
Anyway, back to my main question.
Can I create a new document out of a single layer?
