Rename a layer or group

As you add layers to an image, it’s helpful to give them names that reflect their content. Descriptive names make layers easy to identify in the palette.

 Do one of the following:
  • Double-click the layer name or group name in the Layers palette, and enter a new name.

  • Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and double-click the layer (not its name or thumbnail) in the Layers palette. Enter a new name in the Name text box, and click OK.

  • Select a layer or group, and choose Layer Properties or Group Properties from the Layers menu or the Layers palette menu. Enter a new name in the Name text box, and click OK.
