What's a Layer?
Layers are a key element in PhotoShop. Layers
let you work on a portion of an image without
modifying the rest of the image unless you want
the layer to do so. If you make a mistake you do
not have to worry about recreating the entire
image, just recreate the faulty layer

Mixing it up (Blending)
Each layer gives a tremendous amount of options
to modify it. These options provide a powerful
tool for even the most novice of users. Simply
right-click a layer from the layers palette
And select Blending Options remove any layer
restrictions/locks if option not accessible. This
is usually denoted by a picture of a lock.

options such as Opacity which is how
transparent your option or the
entire layer will be. Suggested Options -
