I never used photoshop before, so I tried to make it.....But how do you select another layer? yeah, I'm a noob in this kinda stuff, only know Paint .

[Iddi]

In the Layers Pallette, just click on the different layers. If you can not see the Layers Pallette, click Window > Layers or something... Sorry, but I am too lazy to check right now.

Guess I'm not into this fancy thing.....I really don't get that layer thing....*sigh*

[Lemon_head]

A layer is like a clear piece of fiberglass that you do everything on, when you have one layer under another the things on that layer get covered up by the layer on top of it, and vice-versa.

hope this helps out


BTW : Swat that sigh like a fly.

nah, didn't help yet I need to make a layer underneath the differce clouds and fill it with red, and then add a light effect. But I can't get that red layer to get on the screen, I only see the clouds...It's just me, I know I used it 5 days ago for the first time

[Iddi]

If you manage to create the layer, drag it above all other layers, and fill it with red. If the whole image now looks red, then drag the layer down to its right place again. It is not visible now because no part of the "Clouds" layer is transparent / Semi-transparent.

I learned how to use layers out of soldiers, Knightingale and Iddiot's toturials. Finally, I understand layers!

Using "Layers" isnt that difficult, its like riding a bike, u learn once and u dont forget...And i think its time for a new Tutorial by me...what ya guys think...
