As we’ve seen, Photoshop automatically names layers for us as we add them, but the names it gives them, like “Layer 1″ and “Background copy”, are pretty generic and not very helpful. When we only have a couple of layers in a document, the names may not seem very important, but when we find ourselves working with 10, 20 or even 100 or more layers, it’s much easier to keep them organized if they have meaningful names. Thankfully, Photoshop makes it easy to rename a layer. Simply double-click directly on a layer’s name in the Layers panel, then type in a new name. I’ll change the name of my Background copy layer to “Blur”. When you’re done, press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) on your keyboard to accept the name change
