Stepaan Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I'm going through help files again, just to re-learn all features, and I found this: Quote To assign a layer colour to a specific layer: On the Layers panel, -click a chosen layer and select Properties. Click the swatch and select a colour from the pop-up menu. Any object drawn in the layer will display paths, nodes and handles in that layer's layer colour. But there isn't any Properties option when I right click a layer. In any of the three V2 apps. I'm on Windows. And no, I don't mean the Color Label (Tag). I mean the Label Colour, which is then displayed in the Working Area (vectors, boxes, etc). Thank you 🙂 PS I love how my spell checker highlights the english colour as an error.  I'm going to try doughnut. Nope, it's OK. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The Properties they're talking about are primarily used in Publisher and Designer, as they are for Layer layers, which can only be created in those apps. When you have a Layer layer, and right-click on it in the Layers panel, there will be a Properties entry. In that Help that you quoted, there is a small typo. It should read "To assign a layer colour to a specific Layer" with a capital L.

But I found it in the Photo help file If you create a Layer layer in Designer or Publisher then open the document in Photo, the Properties option does show up even in Photo so you can make the change there. Â You can duplicate an existing Layer layer from within Photo to create a new one, and you can store one as an Asset to add it to other documents, but you can't create one from scratch if you don't already have one.

Stepaan Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Well, this is the second time in the last two days I realized, we need Layer layers in AP natively. The new Publisher's functionality to turn the layers of embedded files on/off relies on these Layers, not layers 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
