Published in Image Editing 1 min read

Deleting an image in Photoshop is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the Image Layer

  • Click on the image layer in the Layers panel. This will highlight the layer and make it active.

2. Delete the Image

  • Using the Keyboard: Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
  • Using the Menu: Go to Layer > Delete Layer.

3. Confirmation

  • Photoshop will prompt you to confirm the deletion. Click OK to proceed.

Alternative Methods:

  • Drag and Drop: Drag the image layer from the Layers panel to the trash icon at the bottom of the panel.
  • Right-Click Menu: Right-click on the image layer in the Layers panel and select Delete Layer.

Note: This method permanently deletes the image layer from your document. If you want to keep a copy of the image, consider saving it as a separate file before deleting it from the Photoshop document.
