ddeuce 14 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Reading adobe is like reading a code, can the PSD files be saved to another type of multi-layer file ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsgunner 1 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Not that I am aware of. 2 important items. Layers are your friend and save often. If I can learn Photoshop then anyone can. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sieggie 8 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 From the menu, open Window, Layers then you can turn the layers on and off by checking the eye symbol. In the same dialog you will have tabs for Channels (where the alpha is) and Paths. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Hoffmann 4160 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi Ddeuce! Why not ask you the creator of the paintkit himself? He should know how photoshop works! ;-) But to say it in plain letters: Using photoshop is 10 times as easy as driving a car, surely a thousands times easier than flying an aircraft. Since you seem to have mastered the more complex things, you WILL be able to tame Photoshop too. People listen, simply ask! As first help i can tell you, that photoshop organizes the photoshop files in the layer table. This you can imagine as layering transparent plastic foils onto each other. The more on top they are in the table, they more on top they would also on the real plastic layering. Some is drawn plain color (mostly the lowest ones). On others exist small pencil dots and lines, they are layed on top the plain color. The cool thing is now, that the layering can be "almost" limitless and when you change or add a detail you can easily move, switch on/off, scale and rotate the layer content INDEPENDENT from ALL OTHER STUFF. Thats beautiful! When you have understood the system i swear you, you wont try another software with the lack of this feature. I work now over a decade and a half with it, and it never failed to support me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
