Adobe Photoshop is not cheap. There are certainly more affordable
photo editing software applications available on the Internet but
there are reasons why Photoshop is so popular among professional web
designers, photographers, and graphic design specialists. The ability
of Photoshop to allow you to work in layers makes otherwise complex
designs easy.
If you are learning how to use Photoshop to do your graphic designs
than make sure you pay special attention to the section on how to use
layers. To illustrate how layers work imagine you have a piece of
paper. This piece of paper is your background. You could leave the
background white or paint it any color you wish. Now, let's assume you
want to add a photograph of a sunset. Your photograph of the sunset is
on a transparent paper and you lay it over the top of your background.
The sunset image is on your first layer. Now, let's assume you want to
add some text. Your text is on another sheet of transparent paper and
you lay it over the top. This is your second layer. You can add as
many layers as you wish. You can also change the order of the layers.
For example, if you decide you want the text layer to be behind the
sunset layer you can move the layers easily with a few clicks of the
mouse.
This is essentially the same way you create graphics and complex
images in Photoshop. The beauty of layers is that if you decide for
instance that you don't want a sunset and you would rather have an
image of a beach you can simply delete the sunset layer and add an a
new layer for the beach image without disturbing the background or the
text layer.
Working in Photoshop with layers allows you to experiment without fear
of damaging your original image. Layers also allow the user to make
changes without disrupting other elements of the image.
