Layers Palette
Encore DVD has a Layers palette for inspecting, hiding and locking layers and for converting layers to buttons. It resembles the Photoshop Layers palette but is a little different (Figure 4-8).

Moving Layers
The Layers palette in Encore DVD unfortunately does not support direct manipulation of layer order like the Photoshop Layers palette. This means you cannot pick up a layer with the cursor and drag it to a new location in the palette. Instead, you have to use the keyboard shortcuts to move layers and layer sets.
| FUNCTION | MENU COMMAND & SHORTCUT |
|---|---|
| Move layer to the top of a layer set, or a layer set to the top of the stacking order. |
|
| Move layer up one level within a layer set, or a layer set up one level in the stacking order. |
|
| Move layer down one level within a layer set, or a layer set down one level in the stacking order. |
|
| Move layer to the bottom of a layer set, or a layer set to the bottom of the stacking order. |
