Photoshop Lesson #4

Layers in photoshop are parts of a picture that can overlap each other. To create layers in photoshop, all you need to do is make a new project, look at the bottom right of your photoshop program and edit the first layer. To fill the background with color, all you have to do is select the layer in the layer box and then go to the top left and you'll see a colored bar, click on it and change the color to your liking. You can add more layers by pressing the layer button on the bottom right of the layers box which is right beside the trash can icon. To create grass on a new layer, press the paintbrush icon at the left (it will be the 8th button going down) and choose a pencil tip that best suites the type of grass you want to use. To move layers, all you have to do is click and hold the layer you want to move in the layer box and drag it where you want it to be. And lastly the opacity can be used to see layers behind of a layer (make a layer see-through). To do this all you have to do is select the layer you want to be transparent, and the opacity button should be right above the layer box.
