Which menu path is used to export a layer in Photoshop?

• A. Layer > Export
• B. File > Save As
• C. Edit > Preferences
• D. Image > Adjustments

Answer: (A)

Exporting a single layer is handled through the Layer menu because that menu contains actions that apply to layers specifically. From there you use Layer > Export (or Layer > Export As in many versions) to save the active layer as its own image file in formats like PNG or JPEG. This differs from saving the entire document, which is done with File > Save As, and from actions in other menus like Edit > Preferences (software settings) or Image > Adjustments (color or tonal edits). So the path Layer > Export is the correct route to export a layer.
