That's not a feature in Photos nor was it in iPhoto before it. You'll need to export the photo to the Desktop and edit it with a 3rd party image editor, Pages or Preview.


Some Image Editors That Support Layers:


Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79

GraphicConverter - $40Rainbow Painter - $30

Affinity Photos- $50

Inpaint - $20
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50

Pixelmator - $60

Seashore - Free

GIMP for Mac - Free
