    To get more filters in Photoshop, you can either download them from the internet or browse through various plugin websites. Once you find ones you like, simply download them to your computer. Then, open Photoshop and navigate to the "Filters" menu. Choose "Load Filters" or a similar option, depending on your version of Photoshop. If you don't have that option, look for the downloaded filter files on your computer, then copy and paste them into the Plug-ins folder of your Photoshop.

    The Layer function in Photoshop allows you to manipulate different elements of an image or photo without affecting the rest. For example, you can edit, adjust, or delete elements on one layer without altering the other layer. This flexibility enables precise control over every aspect of your design or photo editing process. Plus, you can rearrange layers, apply effects to specific elements, and blend multiple layers together to enhance your photo output.
