To select both the new Ellipse shape layer and the Background shape layer for subtraction, which action is used?

• A. Drag the layers together
• B. Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac computers)
• C. Use a group command
• D. Select the Move tool

Answer: (B)

To include both shape layers for the subtraction, you add them to the selection using the modifier key. Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and click each shape layer in the Layers panel to add them to your selection. This lets you treat both layers as one for the upcoming operation without moving them. Dragging would just reposition, grouping would only nest them, and using the Move tool changes tools rather than the layer selection. Once both layers are selected, you can apply the Subtract Front Shape option to accomplish the subtraction.
