If you have never opened
the layer palette it's very easy. If you
look at the top of PSP 7 you'll see different
icons. You want the icon that has
greenish square over a red one. In the
image below it is circled for you to see:

So you have it
open. What good is it. There is a
lot you can do with this palette so long as
you have more then one layer. Right now
though you have one layer and one background.
So lets change that. Where it has the
names on the palette you want to right click
on the name background and then click on
promote to layer. Now you will have 2
Layers.

If you look in the
one section which is circled below you can
change the transparency of a layer, so you can
determine how much shows from below.

|
Now in the section right
next to that where it says Normal if you click
on it you have the option to really play
around with different effects. Try each one
out at different transparency levels. It
can make some awesome effects as you can see
in the second image below.

Now remember to play around
and have some fun with it. You might be
amazed at what you find. |
