Containment Hierarchy
When we refer to an object model as a containment hierarchy, we mean that we identify objects in the
model partially by the objects that contain them. You can picture the objects in the house model in a
hierarchy, similar to a family tree, with the house on top, rooms at the next level, and the windows and
doors branching from the rooms.
Applying the Concept to Photoshop CS2
Now apply this object model concept to Photoshop CS2. The Photoshop CS2 application is the house, its
documents are the rooms, and the layers, layersets, channels, and selected areas in your documents are
the windows, doors, ceilings, and floors. You can tell Photoshop CS2 documents to add and remove
objects or set or change individual object properties like color, size and shape. You can also use commands
or methods, such as opening, closing, or saving a file.
