154 8. Layers

• Move: Gives you the ability to move a layer up or down in the
Layers List. You can also send a layer directly to the top or
bottom of the list as well as move a layer in or out of a mask.

• Use as Adjustment Layer/Use as Masking Layer: These two
options will take the selected layer and turn it into an Adjustment
Layer or a Masking Layer. For more information on Adjustment
and Masking Layers, see Chapter 16.
• Use As Transition Layer: You'll use this option when creating
your own Transition Effects. For more information on creating
Transitions, see Chapter 14.

• Copy: This is an exceptionally useful option, that actually expands
to give you four very powerful copy options.

o Copy to All Slides: this selection will copy the currently
selected layer to every slide in your entire show. This can
be handy when you’ve created a particular background
or other image that you want to see in all your slides.

o Copy to Selected Slides: rather than copying the layer
to every slide in your show, this option copies the layer
only to the slides you’ve chosen in the Slide List. You
can select slides by moving the Slide Options window
up a bit to see the Slide List and hold CTRL or Shift on
the keyboard to pick the slides you want to include in
the selection.
o Copy to Specific Slides: this option opens the Copy
Layers window. You can use this window to choose
exactly which layers you want to copy and choose only
those slides that you want to copy the layers to Simply
expand and check the layers you want to copy in the left
column and check the destination slides you want those
layers to be copied to in the right column. Click on Copy
once you’ve made your choice, or just choose Copy &
Close.
