Do you actually name your layers? ;o Options

[lovescream]

I sure don't.

I was doing tutorials for my graphics class, and a lot of people named their layers. I just leave them at their default names. >.>;;

Haha, and for my graphics project, I was like the only person with my layers as "Layer 1, Layer 1 Copy, Layer 2, etc."

Haha, I hope I don't get graded for that. :o

[MissHygienic]

Yes, I do, I have a lot of layers to be safe for all of my graphics, so I have to name them to not get mixed up.

[kristie7]

Yes, I will stop and name my layers if I start to end up with a lot of them. It makes things easier to find. Especially if I have a few different repeating images.

[queen]

yah i started that habit, just 'cause a lot of the times, i have no idea what's in a layer just by looking at thumbnails on the menu. and usually 'cause a lot of my projects need specific layers in a certain order. having the default names would totally screw me over ;o

if they're illustrator vectors, then i don't name every single layer (obviously). but i do group them and name the groups.

[lkajsfklajskds]

no, i dont
i should though

[Heathasm]

lol i try to but i lose track easily and forget to do it

[Gigi]

Yes, partly because my yearbook advisor blows a fuse if I don't. But it's helpful, and a professional standard.

[SkeleBoy]

Nah, you're not alone.
Only time I name mine is if I have text on different layers. If I do, then I just type part of the text as the name so I know which is which.
Other than that, I just go by the little preview. xD

[CapCaDancer]

Ahhh I need to >.<
I get unorganized...but usually when I'm making something I'm not really paying attention to the names of my layers. If I can't tell what it is by the little preview in the thumbnail thing, then usually I'll name it.

[Smarmosaur]

i rarely make anything anymore that needs major layer naming. although i really should start naming them, probably. hard to kick a habit though. >_<

Yep, that's exactly what I do, the previews are good enough for me.

[michellerrific]

Sometimes. Only if I have a lot, or sometimes I just find it fun to name. o_O.

[carolannexbh]

If I'm doing something important I do, just so I dont confused myself and its easier to know what things are. If its just fooling around, I usually dont care.

[Detective]

That takes too long! Like I would start and then run out of names for them.

[Relentless]

I actually don't. I'm too lazy. I just try to memorize which layer is what. (x

[austinoutloud]

I do sometimes, when I have little tons of little tiny things all on different layers that you can't see in the preview. I don't really make along of things that require me to do that though.

[digitalfragrance]

I never ever do... I'm too lazy as well... Bbut I do occasionally group them, like in my typography assignment that had over 500 layers.

[lollipoplove]

I never remember to name them. lol.

[markmejia]

I stopped renaming my layers not long after I got used to Photoshop. And Toby, you don't need to name your layers because you're already pro.

But yeah. I let myself suffer through remembering the default layer names and toggling the visibility for each layer. I do group them, though, when it starts to get messy.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Only when theres a ridiculous amount of layers. Other than that, no.

[S-Majere]

Never. An average layer count for me is about 30 layers a-piece. I usually remember what is what.

I do recommend it if you are just starting out with Photoshop, though.

[shortcake]

Most of the time I won't name them unless I have a lot of different layers. Like whenever I make collages I do label my layers.

[miyashu]

But yeah. I let myself suffer through remembering the default layer names and toggling the visibility for each layer. I do group them, though, when it starts to get messy.

LOL that's exactly what I do. I never name my layers.

[ForgiveTheSinner]

I hate naming the layers >.>

Takes too much brain cells for me haha. But I do it at school cause I get graded for that.

At home I just memorize which layer is what.

[freeflow]

Neverrrrrrr! Takes too much time imo.
