"The first rule to tinkering is to save all the parts." Paul Erlich

Layers are the basis for EVERYTHING!
An understanding of Photoshop Layers is an essential part of Bob's digital enhancement method and a base for anyone wanting to fully use Photoshop's power.

For full photo control we need to select and isolate different parts of the image to make them addressable. This activity will provide a familiarity of layer techniques needed to execute "The Method"

To perform this lesson you will need the file PSPwindows.TIF which you got on the CD or from Bob's class. If you don't have that file you can download this photo PSPwindows.JPG by right clicking on the photo and then save.
