How do you create a layers group with layers in the group?

Creating a layers group in Photoshop is an essential way to keep your layers organized, especially when working on complex projects. The correct way to create a layers group is by clicking the folder icon at the bottom of the layers panel. This action immediately creates a new folder (group) within the layers panel, where you can then drag and drop existing layers into this group.

This method is straightforward and visually intuitive; the folder icon acts as an indicator that you are grouping layers together, which is a common organizational technique in graphic design.

While selecting layers and pressing the designated keyboard shortcut also creates a new group, it requires the prior selection of layers and may not be as visually clear for users who prefer using the mouse interface. Right-clicking on a layer and choosing to group layers could potentially lead to extra steps depending on which layer you are right-clicking, and it's not the standard action to create a group immediately. Finally, navigating to File is not a typical or efficient method for creating a layers group, as the layers panel is designed for quick access and manipulation of layers.
