Using Layersmodem HSP56 Xp free

The first thing you need to do is to get familiar with the Layer Palette:

When you create a new graphic, you have a layer. If you open up the Layer Palette (hit the Toggle Layer Palette button on the top menu bar), you will see that there is already one layer (named by default "Background"). modem HSP56 Xp free

As you can see in the layers graphic above, there are currently two layers. I have added a layer called "Fill". With this fill layer, you can change your background in a flash. I leave the white "Background" layer (the layer that is created when you create a new white graphic) in place, because if you use this layer as a fill layer, you can't adjust the opacity. modem HSP56 Xp free

The following examples show the important parts of the layers palette:

Layer Visibility Toggle - This button turns on and off the visibility of that particular layer. It is very useful. There are times when you will want to turn off a layer so that it does not want to interfer with what you are working on. Also, when you choose "Save a Copy As", PSP will compress your graphic and save it with only the layers you have turned on showing....another useful feature!

Layer Opacity - I call this the "Opacity Slider". This one is really useful. What happens when you start sliding down is that the layer you are on starts reducing in opacity. It is useful for adjusting coloring, superimposing one graphic over another, etc.
