How To Change The Opacity Of A Layer In Procreate For The iPad

Despite my newfound love for Procreate's iPad app and the world of mobile design it has opened me up to, the app does have some quirks that can be perplexing at times. One of which would be changing the opacity of a layer. All you have to do to change the opacity of a layer in Procreate is tap on the layer with two fingers, which will activate an opacity slider. However, this feature is somewhat hidden in that it's not indexed in any of the menus or interface in any obvious way.

    I figured it out. A visual with fingers showing where to tap with 2 fingers would really help others. You have to actually tap onto the blue layer tab with 2 fingers. I was tapping onto the image. Hopefully this comment will help others.

    How do you put it back to its original opacity? I inserted a pic on one layer, and changed it a few times. Now it won’t go back to the original opacity. Just that I can make it lighter but not more opaque. The only thing I can think of, is to re-insert the pic on a different layer, and hopefully have it match up again (I’m inking over a hand drawing). There has to be a better way, isn’t there? Any help is appreciated greatly; I’m just starting out on procreate.
