In Photoshop, which layer would you select in the Layers panel to apply textures to your image?

• A. Adjustment Layer
• B. Texture Layer
• C. Layer Style
• D. Filter

Answer: (B)

The texture is added by using a separate texture layer above the image you want to texture. Selecting that texture layer gives you direct control over the texture content—you can adjust its opacity, change its blending mode (like Overlay or Soft Light), or clip it to the layer beneath so the texture only affects the desired area. This setup lets you blend textures non-destructively and tweak or remove the texture later without altering the original image.

Other options serve different tasks: an adjustment layer changes color or tonal values, not the texture itself; a layer style applies effects to a layer (such as bevel or outer glow); a filter applies a pixel-based effect to a layer. None of these provide the dedicated texture content in its own layer for blending, which is why the texture layer is the correct choice.
