How to Set Layer Panel Options in Photoshop
Are there times when you struggle to see what is on a particular layer in a Photoshop document? Do you wish there was a way to have the thumbnails larger in size? Well, there is! There are, in fact, 2 changes we can make in our Panel Options to help us more easily see what is on our document layers.
Here is a screen shot of a cluster. In this screen shot, Panel Options are at the default settings. Notice how small the thumbnail is in size (circled in green); and how we cannot see what element is on the indicated layer (red arrow).
In the Layers Panel Options Window, we can choose our Thumbnail size. We have the option of not having a thumbnail at all, or of having a small, medium or large thumbnail. Tick the button in front of the size you would like to have.
In the Layers Panel Options Window, we also have the option of choosing our Thumbnail Contents. “Layer Bounds” will show a layer element, with transparency trimmed to the boundaries of the element itself. “Entire Document” will show the layer element in relation to where it is on the full-sized document that is active.
Both views can be helpful, depending upon what you are trying to see or do. It’s easy to switch back and forth between views too. So the next time you find yourself straining to see what is on a document layer, just open your Layers Panel Options Window and make a quick switch!
