Change and view object properties


You can rename an object and change its properties. When you create an object, it is given a default name, such as Object 2. If you have not specified settings, the default settings are applied to the object. In some programs, object properties are also known as layer options.

You can change the opacity of an object, choose a merge mode, and modify the way an object blends with underlying objects or with the background image. For more information about merge modes, see Merge modes.

You can view information about the object such as its name, opacity, size, and merge mode by pointing to the object in the image window.
