In the early days of Photoshop, there were no layers, and overlapping components of artwork was a much more difficult process.  Describe the main difficulty with overlapping pieces of art in a document before layers, and describe how the advent of layers has changed and simplified this process.

What will be an ideal response?


Student answers will vary, but should include some version of the following:

It was possible to overlap various components of artwork, but once you deselected, those components would become embedded in the canvas. So, if a montage was created in Photoshop 2.0, all of the elements would have existed on one canvas, one bed of pixels. Imagining that scenario, the true benefit of working with layers is the options to edit, rethink, and redesign.
