Protecting transparent areas of raster layers

To apply tools and effects only to certain areas of a raster layer with data, you can use the Lock Transparency feature. Transparent areas remain protected when you paint, apply effects, paste selections, or make other modifications.

Important! The Lock Transparency feature applies to raster layers only. You cannot lock the transparency of vector, art media, adjustment, mask, or group layers. Background layers do not support transparency.
