You can create a layer from the Layers palette. When you create a layer, you can specify properties such as the layer type, opacity, or blend mode. These properties can be modified as you work with the layer. You can also create layers from selections, vector objects, or other images.
Layers are created automatically when you use the Text tool, Art Media tools, or vector drawing tools, such the Pen tool or the Preset Shape tool.

Only grayscale and 16 million–color images can have multiple raster-based layers (Vector layers are the only non raster-based layers). When you add a new raster-based layer to an image of another color depth, such as a 256-color indexed image, Corel PaintShop Pro automatically converts it to 16 million colors.
You can create a layer quickly by holding down Shift, and choosing an option from the New Layer drop-list.

Choose Selections  Promote Selection to Layer. |
When you promote a selection, some pixels surrounding the selection border may be included, especially if the selection is anti-aliased or feathered. For information about cleaning up a selection before you copy or promote it, see Modifying selections.
You can also create a raster layer by choosing Edit Copy and then choosing Edit Paste As New Layer. The name of the new layer contains "Raster" plus a number, for example, "Raster 1."
