6.5: Working in Layers
The most useful thing about working in Photoshop and in other
graphics programs, which are capable, is Layers. Layers are images
or effects literally stacked on top of each other in a logical order.
Window - show layers
A handy window will show you which layers you have available and
offer layer options…
From here you can select the layer you wish to work on and then.
· Hide Layers
· Copy and duplicate layers
· Add layer masks
· Adjust opacity to make semi transparent layers
· Delete layers
· Drag and drop layers.
One major tip I can give you here is if you make a change to a
photo and you can't see the result then you are most likely working
in the wrong layer. Check the Layers window. Highlight the correct
layer and don't forget to reverse your mistake on the wrong layer.
You can reverse a mistake by dragging the step to the trashcan
in the History Pallet.

Layer masks are another wonderful feature of Photoshop Layers.
A little more advanced but you are advised to research this. Once
you get a handle on masks all the power of Photoshop will open up
to you.
