icon
Denotes whether the layer is a mask layer and,
when lit, whether the mask is selected as the cur-
rent paint target.
You can Shift+click on the mask to
disable it, or right-click on the layer
and select Layer Mask > Disable

indicates the disabled state.
To enable it, either Shift+click on the
mask again or select Layer Mask >

icon
Denotes whether the layer has a mask group and,
when lit, whether the mask group is selected as
the current layer.
Clicking on the icon brings up the
mask group palette.
icon
Denotes whether the layer is an adjustment layer,
or has an adjustment as part of the layer and,
when lit, whether the adjustment is selected as the
current layer.
To distinguish whether the layer is an
adjustment layer or simply has an
adjustment on it, look for the posi-
tion of the icon. If the icon is in the
left-most column, where the
icon is normally located on paint lay-
ers, then the layer is an adjustment
layer.
icon
Denotes whether the layer is a procedural layer
and, when lit, whether the procedural is selected
as the current layer.
icon
Denotes whether the layer is the parent layer of a
group.
icon
Locks or unlocks the selected layer. If the layer is
the parent of a group of layers, all the layers in the
group are also locked or unlocked. Clicking the
padlock icon when a layer is cached also unlocks it.

click menu.
button
