All right.
This is a short intro to my Pin Layers plugin for Photoshop,
which allows you to keep selected layers or groups on top of others.
Here I have a layer structure for demo purposes.
We have multilayer groups and some other.
So let's say we want to keep top layer and ligthen layers on top.
Just select them.
And either on plugins panel
we can find a plug in and clip in selected layers command.
Or you will find in here also on then layers in selected layers
If you don't see this plugins panel, you can open in here
from plugins, plugins panel.
So let's then select the layers.
As you can see, if they both jump to top, their title was changed.
And now if you try to move them
or try to insert a new layer between them, it won't allow you.
Same works within groups.
If you want let's say we have these two rectangle shapes
and we want levels to keep on top of them inside the group.
Again, just select the layer, pin and it's pinned inside of the group.
If you try to move it down or
insert some layer above, it won't allow it.
Same with multi-level, for example, we want to keep all shapes on top.
Let's pin them.
And let's say I want the triangle shape to
keep always above other shapes.
Let's pin it also.
So now triangle is pinned inside shapes group and shapes
group is pinned inside multilevel group
exactly the same is
with our Artboards For example, we have here an Artboard
that one of them has text layer, which we want always to keep on top.
But before opening, let's
try adding a gradient.
As you can see, the text is below.
You click OK, it stays here.
But if we have it pinned
and now create same gradient,
reverse, click OK.
Text is kept on top and it will keep on top and side of the artboard
As a real life example.
It might be useful for keeping on top.
Check layers.
For example, let's create
luminance and Hue as an example.
I'm using here my other plugin
to save some time
Let's pin them
and let's
try changing some luminance
Let's have one more to darken
and let's go
gradient black masks
and Let's
just for an example
quick edit
so it's not very good, but
to show you how it works
So just by keeping luminance always on top,
it allows you to quickly create layers
and let's create now Hue,
colour balance, for example,
and let's adjust
Let's say we want more
reddish, orangish look
add highlights also
maybe shadows a bit bluish.
And let's
remove that
pink tone
and a bit
so very slight adjustment.
But it makes a difference.
And what we had before,
after in a very quick edit.
If you have a document
saved with some pinned layers
let's save it and you close it,
the next time you open,
the layers will be repinned again.
This is done since version two of the plugin
you can unpin selected layers.
For example, I want to unpin hue so
or you can unpin multiple
at the same time.
Let's unpin.
If you have
multiple pinned layer still in the document,
you can unpin active document layers.
It will unpin all of them.
Or if you have still some layer pinned here
here one layer and here
you can also unpin layers of all documents and
all all documents don't have any pinned layers anymore.
So that's it.
