A layered PSD file is an Adobe Photoshop file in which the artwork is structured on separate layers. Working on multiple layers is very useful in many situations, because it allows for a lot of flexibility.

A layered layout is convenient in case multiple versions of the same image are needed or when you want to be able to play around with various texts, images or colors. It's also easy to alter only an element of a layout, operation which would be very difficult in case of flat files that have everything on the same layer.

Creating a layered PSD file is easy if you start from scratch. All you have to do is draw or import each element on a new layer in Adobe Photoshop, then save the file in PSD format. For even more convenience, you can give the layers suggestive names, so that you know which one holds which element.More info on:

When you work, you may have problems in selecting certain elements of the layout because they are too close together or even overlap. If they are on layers, it is very easy to lock or even hide certain layers, so that the element that needs to be selected remains clear.

There are other formats of layered files such as TIFF, for instance, but PSD ones are better because they offer more facilities to the user. One example would be the ability of saving multitones, which is not possible with layered TIFF files.

Even if you think it may not be necessary, try to keep each element on its own layer. Sometimes you may be tempted to just put two things on the same layer, thinking that you won't have to alter them separately anyway.

Put it like this: if another creative designer would have to continue your work, how hard it will be for him to understand what you did?
