In this part of the chapter, I’m going to explain the
difference between two very useful features in Photoshop; these features are
opacity and fill you can find these features as slides that you can control in
the layers palette.

-Opacity: this feature will help you set and adjust how opaque the layer you
created and all it’s content as well.
-Fill: this feature will help you set and adjust the opacity of filled shapes
that you created in the layer.
Here is 2 images, one with the green box layer's opacity and fill are set to
100%, in the second image they are set to 50%. Just to give you a hint on how
the opacity and the fill work:
