Create a layer comp
1 Choose Window > Layer Comps to display the Layer Comp palette.
2 Click the Create New Layer Comp button at the bottom of the Layer Comps palette. The new comp reflects the
current state of layers in the Layers palette.
3 In the New Layer Comp dialog box, name the comp, add descriptive comments, and choose options to apply to
layers: Visibility, Position, and Appearance.
4 Click OK. Any new comp preserves the options you chose for the previous one, so you don’t have to make these
choices again if you want the comps to be identical.
To duplicate a comp, select a comp in the Layer Comps palette and drag the comp to the New Comps button.
Apply and view layer comps
1 Do any of the following:
• To view a layer comp, you first need to apply it in the document. In the Layer Comp palette, click the Apply Layer
Comp icon
next to a selected comp.
• To cycle through a view of all the layer comps, use the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of the
palette.
• To cycle through a view of selected comps, select the comps in the Layer Comps palette, and then click the Next
and Previous buttons at the bottom of the palette. This cycles through only the comps you selected.
• To restore the document to its state before you chose a layer comp, click the Apply Layer Comp icon next to
Last Document State at the top of the Layer Comp palette.
