Layers in Photoshop Elements - Basic Principles
I have had several requests from people (thank you) for some tutorials on using layers in Photoshop Elements. I had intended to leave this until a little later in the piece, but there’s no harm in bringing it forward a little, so here we go.
This first video explains the basic principles. Some of you may already know layers at this level but I want to make sure that everyone has the basics mastered so we can attack the more complicated stuff in the next few videos.
Things may evolve as I go, but at present I thing the rest of the video series on layers is likely to go:
Layer masks
Adjustment layers
Layer Styles
Layer Blending Modes
So, get stuck in with this initial video and by the end of the series you should be working magnificently with layers and you’ll be amazed at what you find you are then able to achieve with your photos.

Many thanks for the excellent and informative videos.
Now instead of ploughing through reams of text and learning very little, I find by watching and following your examples I’m rapidly doing things I would’nt have thought possible..
Many thanks and keep up the good work, as i’m sure many others benifit as i do.
All the best for 2009 to you all.
Greatfully Yours George Farndon

Thanks George
I have many more planned, and following an overseas trip later this month I hope to free up enough time to put them up far more regularly.
All the best for 2009 to you and yours as well
