Photoshop Lesson 02: Layers

Tomorrow (Tuesday, October 11.) we will be starting our next Photoshop lesson. Now that we have learned how to make selections and move / copy elements around in Photoshop we now move on to using layers. One of Photoshop's great advantages in image editing. Layers allow you to ad effects and edit with out destroying  or "ruining" other effects or edits and lets you go back and either modify or get rid of them all together while still preserving other parts of the image. This is also known as "non destructive editing". If you want to get a jump start on tomorrow read the following info at this link: http://www.surrealpsd.com/core-skills-photoshop-layers-part-1/
