How do u use layers in adobe photoshop?

Select the entire forground image. You can, for instance "Edit>Select All"

This will put those "marching ants" dashes around the entire image.

Then, "Edit>Copy."

Then, "Edit>Paste"

This will automatically create a copy of the image on a new layer, on top of the original image, which is on the background layer.

In the Layers Palette, you can "hide" the new layer by clicking on the "eye" symbol ON THAT TOP LAYER.

Then, click on the background layer and make any changes you want to it, such as painting it over or filling it with another color.

Now you can click back on that top layer, click where the "eye" symbol was to display the image. Now you can erase the parts you don't want, leaving the parts you WANT to keep, floating over the background layer.

You can add new images by pasting them into this document. Every time you do, Photoshop will create a new layer for it. In the layers palette, you can drag these new layers so that they can be arranged in any order you want. (except the background layer, which will always be the bottom one)

For example.

Say you wanted an entirely different picture for the backgound.

You would "Select All" on the new image.

Then "Copy" it.

Then, go back to that first image, with the foregound you want.

While that image is selected, you "Paste," and the new image that you want for the background.

You can then drag that new layer "behind" the foreground layer and there you are.

You can also create a new layer anytime you want by clicking on the icon that looks like the corner flap of a paper being pulled out. This makes a new, transparent layer, much like you had place a sheet of transparency paper over an image. You could draw or paint things on that new transparent layer without disturbing anything below it.

The trick with working with layers is that you need to make sure you select the layer you want to work on by clicking on it in the layers palette. Wheneve you seem to be doing something that does not show up on your monitor, there is a good chance that you are working on the wrong layer.

Layers in one of the BEST features of Photoshop, or any other graphics program that uses layers.

Good luck and have fun1

If you move your opacity slider (top of layers palette), you can make the underlying image visible.

Better still change the BLENDING MODE in layers. Click on the word NORMAL and from the drop down menu look at all your other options.

You'll be blown away!
