It's the icon that looks like a circle split diagonally between black and white:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/new-fill-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"The New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"272\" height=\"236\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Select <strong>Solid Color<\/strong> from the top of the list of fill and adjustment layers that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/solid-color.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Solid Color fill layer in Photoshop.\" width=\"198\" height=\"101\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose a Solid Color fill layer from the top of the list.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop will pop open the <strong>Color Picker<\/strong> so we can select which color we want to fill the layer with. Choose <strong>white<\/strong>, either by clicking in the top left corner of the large color selection box on the left or by entering <strong>255<\/strong> for the <strong>R<\/strong>, <strong>G<\/strong> and <strong>B<\/strong> options near the bottom center of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-color-picker.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing white from the Color Picker in Photoshop.\" width=\"566\" height=\"385\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose white from the Color Picker.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to close out of the Color Picker. The document will now be filled with solid white, which will serve as the background for our effect:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-document-white.gif\" alt=\"The Photoshop document is now filled with solid white.\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The document is now filled with white.<\/div>\n<p>If we look in the Layers panel, we see the new Solid Color fill layer, which Photoshop has named <strong>Color Fill 1<\/strong>, sitting above the original image on the Background layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/color-fill-1.gif\" alt=\"The new Solid Color fill layer appears in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"225\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop places the Solid Color fill layer above the Background layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Duplicate The Background Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Select the <strong>Background layer<\/strong> by clicking on it in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Background layer in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"225\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Background layer to select it. Selected layers are highlighted in blue.<\/div>\n<p>With the Background layer selected, go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose <strong>New<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>. Or, for a faster way to access the same command, press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/new-layer-via-copy.gif\" alt=\"The New Layer via Copy command in Photoshop.\" width=\"467\" height=\"177\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Layer > New > Layer via Copy.<\/div>\n<p>A copy of the Background layer, appropriately named <strong>Background copy<\/strong>,  is added directly above the original:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/background-copy.gif\" alt=\"A copy of the Background layer appears above the original in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"252\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Background copy layer is added between the original Background layer and the Solid Color fill layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Move The Background Copy Layer Above The Solid Color Fill Layer<\/h3>\n<p>We need to move the Background copy layer above the Solid Color fill layer, and the fastest and easiest way to do that is with a keyboard shortcut. Press <strong>Ctrl+right bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>]<\/strong> ) (Win) \/ <strong>Command+right bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>]<\/strong> ) (Mac) on your keyboard. This will jump the currently selected layer (the Background copy layer) up over the layer directly above it (the Color Fill 1 layer), placing the Background copy layer at the top of the layer stack:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/background-copy-top.gif\" alt=\"The Background copy layer has been moved above the Solid Color fill layer.\" width=\"272\" height=\"252\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press Ctrl+] (Win) \/ Command+] (Mac) to jump the Background copy layer above the Solid Color fill layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Select The Rectangle Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select the <strong>Rectangle Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-rectangle-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Rectangle Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"71\" height=\"130\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the Rectangle Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Select The Shapes Option<\/h3>\n<p>With the Rectangle Tool selected, click on the <strong>Shapes<\/strong> option in the Options Bar along the top of the screen. It's the left icon in a row of three icons near the far left of the Options Bar:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/shapes-option.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Shapes option for the Rectangle Tool in the Options Bar.\" width=\"348\" height=\"70\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the Shapes option in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Draw The First Vertical Panel<\/h3>\n<p>With the Rectangle Tool in hand and the Shapes option selected, click inside the document and drag out your first vertical panel. We're going to add our panels from left to right across the image, so draw this first panel on the far left of the area you want to display. For example, in my case, I'm going to drag out my first panel on the left side of the man's face (don't worry about the color of the panel):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/draw-first-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging out a vertical panel with the Rectangle Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"359\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging out the first panel on the left side of the image.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Rotate The Panel Slightly With Free Transform<\/h3>\n<p>To add a bit more visual interest to the effect, let's rotate some of the panels so they don't all appear straight up and down. Press <strong>Ctrl+T<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+T<\/strong> (Mac) to quickly access Photoshop's <strong>Free Transform<\/strong> command, which places the Free Transform bounding box and handles around the panel. Click anywhere outside the panel and, with your mouse button still held down, drag with your mouse to rotate it. Don't rotate it too far - a slight angle is all we need. You can also move the panel to reposition it if you need to by clicking anywhere inside of it and, again with your mouse button still held down, dragging the panel around with your mouse. Here, I'm rotating the panel slightly counterclockwise. When you're done, press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard to accept the change and exit out of the Free Transform command::<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/rotating-first-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Rotating the panel with Free Transform.\" width=\"361\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Use Free Transform to rotate and\/or move the panel inside the document.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Move The Shape Layer Below The Background Copy Layer<\/h3>\n<p>If we look in the Layers panel, we see our newly added Shape layer (named <strong>Shape 1<\/strong>) sitting above the Background copy layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/shape-1-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Shape layer sits at the top of the layer stack.\" width=\"272\" height=\"297\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Shape layer currently sits at the top of the layer stack.<\/div>\n<p>We need to swap the order of the two layers so the Shape layer appears below the Background copy layer, and we can do that with another handy keyboard shortcut. With the Shape layer selected, press <strong>Ctrl+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Win) \/ <strong>Command+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Mac) on your keyboard. This jumps the currently selected layer (the Shape 1 layer) down below the layer directly below it (the Background copy layer):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/shape-1-moved.gif\" alt=\"The Shape layer and Background copy layer have swapped positions.\" width=\"272\" height=\"169\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press Ctrl+[ (Win) \/ Command+[ (Mac) to move the Shape 1 layer below the Background copy layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Select The Background Copy Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Once again click on the <strong>Background copy<\/strong> layer to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/select-background-copy.gif\" alt=\"Clicking on the Background copy layer to select it.\" width=\"272\" height=\"169\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Background copy layer at the top of the layer stack to select it.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Create A Clipping Mask<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choose <strong>Create Clipping Mask<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/create-clipping-mask.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Create Clipping Mask command from the Layer menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"254\" height=\"106\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Layer > Create Clipping Mask.<\/div>\n<p>This \"clips\" the image on the Background copy layer to the vertical panel on the Shape layer directly below it, hiding everything on the Background copy layer except for the area that sits directly above the panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/image-clipping-mask.jpg\" alt=\"The image on the Background copy layer is now clipped to the vertical panel shape below it.\" width=\"637\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Only the part of the image that appears over the panel shape remains visible in the document.<\/div>\n<p>If we look in the Layers panel, we see that the Background copy layer is now indented to the right, with a small arrow pointing downward to the left of the preview thumbnail. This is Photoshop's way of telling us that the layer is clipped to the contents of the layer below it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/background-copy-clipped.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the Background copy layer clipped to the Shape layer.\" width=\"272\" height=\"169\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A layer indented to the right means it's clipped to the  layer below it.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Add A Drop Shadow<\/h3>\n<p>Let's add a couple of simple layer styles to the panel. First, click on the <strong>Shape 1<\/strong> layer to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/select-shape-1-layer.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Shape layer in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"169\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Shape 1 layer in the Layers panel to select it.<\/div>\n<p>Then click on the <strong>Layer Styles<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-layer-styles-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Layer styles icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"272\" height=\"131\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Layer Styles icon.<\/div>\n<p>Choose <strong>Drop Shadow<\/strong> from the list of layer styles that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/select-drop-shadow.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Drop Shadow layer style in Photoshop.\" width=\"183\" height=\"120\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose Drop Shadow from the list.<\/div>\n<p>This opens Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Drop Shadow options in the middle column. Lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> of the shadow down to <strong>60%<\/strong> to reduce its intensity, then set the <strong>Angle<\/strong> to <strong>120&deg;<\/strong>. Set both the <strong>Distance<\/strong> and <strong>Size<\/strong> options to <strong>10 px,<\/strong> although you may want to experiment with different values for these two options depending on the size of the image you're working with:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/drop-shadow-options.gif\" alt=\"The Drop Shadow options in the Layer Style dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"380\" height=\"233\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Drop Shadow options.<\/div>\n<p>Leave the Layer Style dialog box open for the moment because we still have one more layer style to add. Your panel should look similar to this after adding the drop shadow:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/first-panel-drop-shadow.jpg\" alt=\"The image after adding a drop shadow to the first panel.\" width=\"293\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding a drop shadow to the first panel.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 12: Add A Stroke<\/h3>\n<p>With the Layer Style dialog box still open, click directly on the word <strong>Stroke<\/strong> at the bottom of the list along the left of the dialog box. Make sure you click on the word itself, not just in the checkbox, otherwise you won't have access to the Stroke options:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/selecting-stroke.gif\" alt=\"Selecting Stroke from the list of styles in the Layer Style dialog box.\" width=\"202\" height=\"135\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click directly on the word Stroke on the left of the Layer Style dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>The middle column of the Layer Style dialog box will change to show options for the stroke. Click on the <strong>color swatch<\/strong> to the right of the word <strong>Color<\/strong> to change the color of the stroke:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/stroke-color-swatch.gif\" alt=\"Clicking on the color swatch for the stroke in the Layer Style dialog box.\" width=\"288\" height=\"158\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the color swatch.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop will open the <strong>Color Picker<\/strong> once again, this time so we can select a new color for the stroke that will appear around the edges of the panel. Choose <strong>white<\/strong> just as we did back in Step 1, either by clicking in the top left corner of the large color selection box on the left or by entering <strong>255<\/strong> for the <strong>R<\/strong>, <strong>G<\/strong> and <strong>B<\/strong> values. When you're done, click OK to close out of the Color Picker:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/select-stroke-color.jpg\" alt=\"Selecting a new color for the stroke from the Color Picker.\" width=\"566\" height=\"385\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choose white from the Color Picker.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, change the <strong>Size<\/strong> of the stroke to <strong>2 px<\/strong> (you may want to use a larger value if you're working with a larger image), then change the <strong>Position<\/strong> to <strong>Inside<\/strong>, which will keep the stroke nice and sharp in the corners of the panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/stroke-size-position.gif\" alt=\"The stroke Size and Position options in the Layer Style dialog box.\" width=\"306\" height=\"157\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Set the Size to 2 px and the Position to Inside.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK to close out of the Layer Style dialog box. Your panel should now look similar to this after adding the drop shadow and the stroke:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/first-panel-shadow-stroke.jpg\" alt=\"The first panel after applying a drop shadow and a stroke.\" width=\"292\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The first panel after applying a drop shadow and a white stroke.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 13: Select Both Layers At Once<\/h3>\n<p>With the Shape 1 layer already selected, hold down your <strong>Shift<\/strong> key and click on the Background copy layer above it. This will select both layers at once (both will appear highlighted in blue):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/select-both-layers.gif\" alt=\"Selecting two layers at once in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"181\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold Shift and click on the Background copy layer to select it and the Shape 1 layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 14: Create A Layer Group<\/h3>\n<p>With both layers now selected, go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>New<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Group from Layers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/new-group-from-layers.gif\" alt=\"The New Group from Layers command in Photoshop.\" width=\"454\" height=\"129\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Layer > New > Group from Layers.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop will open the New Group from Layers dialog box. Name the new layer group <strong>Panel<\/strong>, then click OK to close out of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/new-group-dialog-box.gif\" alt=\"The New Group from Layers dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"467\" height=\"132\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Name the new layer group \"Panel\".<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop places the two layers inside a new layer group named Panel. Only the group itself is currently visible in the Layers panel. The two layers are hidden inside the group. We're going to add our additional photo panels to the document by making copies of the group:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/new-panel-group.gif\" alt=\"A new layer group named Panel appears in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"290\" height=\"230\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The two layers are now inside a layer group named Panel.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 15: Duplicate The Layer Group<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the Panel group and, with your mouse button held down, drag it down onto the <strong>New Layer<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/duplicate-panel-group.gif\" alt=\"Dragging the layer group onto the New Layer icon.\" width=\"291\" height=\"240\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag the Panel group down onto the New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Release your mouse button over the New Layer icon. Photoshop creates a copy of the group, names it <strong>Panel copy<\/strong>, and places it above the original Panel group:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/panel-copy.gif\" alt=\"A copy of the layer group appears above the original.\" width=\"290\" height=\"184\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A copy of the Panel group is added above the original.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 16: Move The Copy Below The Original Group<\/h3>\n<p>Press <strong>Ctrl+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Win) \/ <strong>Command+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Mac) to move the copy of the Panel group below the original:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/panel-copy-moved.gif\" alt=\"The Panel copy group now appears below the original.\" width=\"290\" height=\"171\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press Ctrl+[ (Win) \/ Command+[ (Mac) to move the Panel copy group below the original.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 17: Open The Layer Group<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the small <strong>triangle<\/strong> icon to the left of the <strong>Panel copy<\/strong> group's name. This will twirl the group open, revealing the two layers inside it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/open-panel-group.gif\" alt=\"Opening the layer group.\" width=\"312\" height=\"215\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the triangle to twirl open the Panel copy group.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 18: Select The Shape Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the <strong>Shape 1<\/strong> layer inside the group to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/shape-1-panel-copy.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Shape 1 layer inside the group.\" width=\"319\" height=\"164\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the Shape 1 layer inside the Panel copy group.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 19: Move And Rotate The Shape With Free Transform<\/h3>\n<p>Press <strong>Ctrl+T<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+T<\/strong> (Mac) to quickly bring up the <strong>Free Transform<\/strong> handles around the second panel, then click anywhere inside the panel and drag it towards the right. It will look at first like there's only one panel in the document since the original panel is sitting directly above the second, but as soon as you begin dragging towards the right, you'll see the second panel emerge from behind the original. As you drag the second panel into position, more of the image is revealed inside of it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/drag-second-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the second panel towards the right.\" width=\"323\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click inside the panel and drag it towards the right to reveal more of the image.<\/div>\n<p>Try to place the second panel either slightly higher or lower than the original panel, again just to add more visual interest. Also, rotate the panel in the opposite direction by clicking anywhere outside of it and dragging with your mouse. Here, I've positioned my second panel a bit higher than the first and I've rotated it clockwise. When you're done, press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) to accept the change and exit out of the Free Transform command:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/rotate-second-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Rotating the second panel clockwise.\" width=\"323\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Rotate the second panel slightly in the opposite direction.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 20: Close The Layer Group<\/h3>\n<p>We need to make a few more copies of the layer group to create the additional panels, so to prevent things from getting too cluttered and confusing in the Layers panel, close the layer group when you're done with it by clicking again on the <strong>triangle<\/strong> to the left of the group's name:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/close-group.gif\" alt=\"Closing the layer group in the Layers panel.\" width=\"319\" height=\"171\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Close the layer group when you're done to keep things looking clean and organized.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 21: Repeat Steps 15-20 To Add The Additional Panels<\/h3>\n<p>At this point, adding the remaining panels is just a matter of repeating the same few steps. First, duplicate the previously added layer group (it will be the bottom-most group in the Layers panel and will also be the one  highlighted in blue) by dragging it down onto the <strong>New Layer<\/strong> icon:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/duplicate-panel-copy.gif\" alt=\"Duplicating the second layer group.\" width=\"319\" height=\"205\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drag the bottom-most layer group down onto the New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>A copy of the group will appear directly above it. Here, the new copy is named <strong>Panel copy 2.<\/strong> As you add more panels, the layer groups will be named Panel copy 3, Panel copy 4, and so on:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/panel-copy-2.gif\" alt=\"Panel copy 2 appears in the Layers panel.\" width=\"319\" height=\"148\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop adds the copy of the layer group directly above the original.<\/div>\n<p>Press <strong>Ctrl+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Win) \/ <strong>Command+left bracket<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> ) (Mac) on your keyboard to move the new group  below the other layer groups:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/move-panel-copy-2.gif\" alt=\"Moving the Panel copy 2 group below the Panel copy group.\" width=\"319\" height=\"121\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press Ctrl+[ (Win) \/ Command+[ (Mac) to move the new copy below its original.<\/div>\n<p>Open the layer group by clicking on the <strong>triangle<\/strong> icon to the left of its name, then select the <strong>Shape 1<\/strong> layer inside the group:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/twirl-panel-select-shape.gif\" alt=\"Opening the layer group and selecting the shape layer inside.\" width=\"319\" height=\"189\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Open the layer group and select the Shape 1 layer.<\/div>\n<p>Press <strong>Ctrl+T<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+T<\/strong> (Mac) to bring up the <strong>Free Transform<\/strong> box and handles around the new panel, then click inside the panel and drag it towards the right to reveal more of the image, placing the new panel slightly above or below the previous one. Click outside the panel and drag with your mouse to rotate it. Press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) when you're done to exit out of Free Transform:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/drag-third-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Moving and rotating the third panel.\" width=\"391\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Use Free Transform to move and rotate the panel.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, click on the <strong>triangle<\/strong> icon to close the layer group when you're done. You don't necessarily have to close the layer groups each time, but it's much easier to work inside the Layers panel with the groups closed:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/close-panel-group-2.gif\" alt=\"Closing the layer group.\" width=\"319\" height=\"167\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the triangle to close the group when you're done.<\/div>\n<p>Repeat these same steps to add your remaining panels to the document, and you're done! Here, after adding three more panels to reveal the rest of the man's face, is my final \"vertical photo panels\" result (I've cropped away some of the white background with the Crop Tool):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/vertical-panels\/photoshop-vertical-photo-panels-effect.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop vertical photo panels effect.\" width=\"575\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final result.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<aside>\n<p>And there we have it!
