Stack Lab

A Layers panel you can't break. Reorder it, hide things, and find out what Opacity does that Fill doesn't. The exam asks about that one every single time.

Top of the list is the front of the picture. Use the arrows to move a layer up or down and watch what gets covered. The eye hides a layer without deleting it.
