Adding color to layer for easy recognition

Sometimes when we have created so many layers that it can be causing us a problem to spot the one we want to work on, then we have to scroll the tiles up and down. Although this might not be the big issue while doing image manipulation, but it soon becomes the problem when you work on documents containing 40–50 layers. When you are faced with that many layers,organizing them into groups is essential. However, when time consuming, we may speed up our work flow by using the feature of colorizing layers and thereby making it easier to find them in the Layers palette when you scroll up and down.

To colorize a layer or group, Right-click in Windows; Ctrl-click in Mac OS on the visibility icon and then select a preset color from the pop-up menu.
