If you are a user of any version of Photoshop and you are not making use of the Photoshop layers system, you’re allowing the majority of the power of this software to pass you by and that is far too much to give up.
Not using layers is a bit like buying a car and not using tyres, yes you will get the car moving for a little while, but the ride won’t be very comfortable and you will soon grind to a stop.

As your creativity with digital photography is awakened you will want to do many things with your images, but they may seem impossible to get right at times. Well, in 80% of cases, layers will be the answer you’re looking for. Layers help us in so many ways and that is why we can fill a DVD with techniques that use layers. There are just so many ways to use layers creatively.

Layers are a must know part of any version of Photoshop

Now we know that newer users of Photoshop often get a little hung up on layers, we are aware of that from our E-Mails and from questions we get at demonstrations, but you’re not alone here.

Layers is always difficult when we are first introduced to Photoshop and despite what some people perceive, our mental block has nothing to do with age or any lack of intelligence.
Photoshop’s layers are something we must persevere with for a while, but it does not take too long before the mist starts to clear and things then become a whole lot easier to understand.

Once we do understand the concept of layers we often look back later and wonder why we had any trouble at all. It’s just a learning curve that this DVD is designed to level out for you. That we can guarantee !
The thing to remember when we are scratching our heads is that the rewards are well worth the effort. When the penny drops a huge creative world will open up for you and your photography.

In this DVD we start with the only graphics we will use and they will help us explain the concept of layers. Once we begin to understand that concept then, the mist will start to clear.
For the remainder of the DVD we will use real life projects and techniques that require layers to get the results we need. These will vary from what we call our bread and butter manipulations that we will need to use on many different images, to the more creative use of Layers too.
