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.
