layers question

[sue levy]

How do you see all your layers in your photo? When I click layers, all I see is the "background layer", which shows the entire photo, but not separating the various layers. How do I get the to view the separate layers?

Hi Sue and welcome to the forum :)

When you first open a picture there will only be one layer then as you create new layers you will see each one individually. The secret is not to work on the background layer. Create a new layer for each step of change you make. If you have created layers and then saved as a .jpg all the layers will be "mushed" into one layer so it is a good idea to only save a copy of your image as a .jpg when you want to email or post to the web.

Hope that helps :)

Hi Sue ...

... and welcome to the forum :)

If you click on Learning Centre (at the top of the page) you will find a couple of tutorials that are on layers.

You will also find lots of useful information on the site and there are some excellent online classes available too. Any help we can give you then just ask :)
