add some text and then look into layer panel, a new text layer is created on the top. These are two “images” but now let’s check about “text”. by clicking on eye symbol you can turn on or off the layer. In layer panel you can see each layer has an eye symbol. it has created a new layer on top of layer panel instead of adding or mixing the pixels with photoshop background layer. You can see what happened in the layer panel. Now this is the background layer, to add more images, press shift key and drag and drop the image to the center. You just need to grab that lock symbol and drag it to the trash and it simply unlocks the layer. Now let’s see another option to unlock the Photoshop layers. This all indicates a transparent background. Now you can easily move the layer and when you move it you will see the transparency checker patter behind the layer. Now you can see our Photoshop layer is unlocked and its name is also changed. It will show you a popup where you can change the name of that locked layer and then press ok. One of them is we can double click on locked layer. So to unlock a layer we have different options. It means you can’t move or do anything like that.

You can see bydefault a background layer.
