If you’re starting out what overwhelms you is not those 4 actions but the answer to those four questions: You’ve 4 actions, your 20% for 80% of the work, for practically all techniques regarding layers:Īll the techniques you can encounter are variation of those four actions. Now that you know where to look and how to navigate the layer palette… we can talk techniques… By the way that eye is the button to show/hide the layer.
