Photoshop CS6 Tutorial - Layers For Beginners

[@DustyPorter]

Well thank you for the positive feedback! I am glad that I could help you out!

[@laholly323]

GREAT tutorial! First one I have seen that DOESN'T 1) ramble all over the place--from the weather to the latest sports statistics; 2) go too fast; 3) go too slow: 4) fail to use the cursor appropriately so we can see where all the selections are to be made; 5) include too much in the first tutorial; and 6) that ISN"T unintelligible because the narrator pays no attention to diction or is not a fluent English speaker. Thank you. I will watch this one til it's etched in my brain and then go to your next one. A+!

[@pjchampoux]

Thank you for this video. It's very useful for me! Since I'm a french speaking person, I really appreciate the fact that you speak slowly and very clearly.

[@cyranomyluv]

GREAT tutorial! Thanks so much for this. I'm an author and I want to begin making book covers for Amazon. I would LOVE to see a tutorial on how to use the rulers to make the spine of a book, the front and back cover and basically how to wrap the whole image. I'm a beginner, so you don't have to go into crazy detail, but just some steps to start me on my way would be awesome. Thanks again :)

[@beneficus]

Just wanted to say "thank you" for all your wonderful tutorials. Keep up the good work!

[@Ladymoo78]

Very useful, thank you very much. Without these videos I would be lost!!!

[@armsantana]

Great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial on being able to highlight one person in a group, while blurring the others? would like to learn this technique.

[@jimisutton8064]

You do a wonderful job of explaining your subject matter. Do you have a tutorial on changing backgrounds and or merging another photo? Those of contributors somehow fail to include transitional steps, consequently i get lost! Help!

[@amorlomibao3452]

[@BWinc70]

Thank you great video. You explained the layers feature very well.

[@aseembhardwaj9099]

Sir, you have given very educative videos. I want to learn all tools of PS CS6 , so please make a tutorial for me considering my request.

[@DustyPorter]

Ok, sounds good to me!

[@colemartin8796]

Where do you get your fonts? is that one in photoshop or did you download it somewhere else?

[@1jupiter08]

That was helpful but I was look for a video on how to create layers. For example, how did you get those three layers?

[@NealBailey]

Thanks. Great down to earth and real. But I can't make the folders of layers like you described. I subscribed as well.

[@DustyPorter]

Thank you for the positive feedback! As far as the not being able to create layer folders make sure that you follow each step exactly.

[@Mulldog97]

Thanks for the tutorial...it was very instructive. I subscribed.

[@johnnythach3256]

it's a perfect lesson for me to start a photoshop

[@uniquelymeat606]

[@DustyPorter]

+Dominique Nolen Great! And thank you!

[@mohammedimam4032]

AWESOMEEE EXPLANATION !!!!!!! THANKS !!

[@Inveate]

Very good tutorial, but the feature which allows you to duplicate a layer was not just introduced in CS6. I have CS5 and it is available in that version of Photoshop as well.

[@SyedYahyaSalleh]

Nice stuff. Good tutorial. Thanks

[@tgerald]

Can a layer be resized or do I need to remove it, resize it and replace it? (If that makes sense).

[@bonitasmokeshop9797]

Huge help! Thank you for posting this

[@aliciaseales4752]

I'm trying to create a patterned digital alphabet (each letter will be filled with a pattern) each in a separate file. So I will have a capital and lowercase A in one pattern, continued for the whole alphabet. Then I will have the alphabet in another pattern. I know how to make each letter a pattern with the Type Mask Tool but I'm wondering if I'm doing it the easiest way because it seems to be taking forever. I don't know the best method of creating the same Type Mask in different patterns.

[@esquibelaamy]

thank u for this tutorial specific to layers

[@amorlomibao3452]

Wow! You are incredible. I really loved your way. You are so clear & concise. Thank you so much :'))💕

[@kimrobinson5308]

I need to relearn how to make the layers to bring other pics or portions of picks into and make a new picture. I can't seem to import the second or third item to make it part of the original. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@DustyPorter]

Currently I do that but it is my business. If you want you can message me through my channel and we can work something out!

[@flaviobarbosa9268]

[@shirty977]

How do I a change the measurements of a layer from pixels/% to mm? I need this layer of my project to be 66x93 mm but I do not know how to change the size to a specific size.

[@pjchampoux]

By the way, could you tell me how to create a white layer? By default, it seems to be transparent and I would like to convert it to white. Thanks!

[@Schiz4]

How do you put together all of the layers so that you can see then on top of each other (im making a team logo from a reference picture.)

[@jennifersanchez8152]

Great tutorial! My problem is that when I have my first layer, I add another to draw over. But when I Lowe the opacity of the first layer, I get this checkerboard pattern. How do I lower the opacity of my first layer but get rid of the checkerboard pattern?

[@HTGGeorge]

+jennifer sanchez Hi, the Checkerboard pattern is simply the symbol that Photoshop uses to show transparency. You can ignore it, the checkerboard pattern will not show up in your final printed or saved piece. If you really don't like the checkerboard pattern transparency indicator you can change it by going to Edit/Preferences (at the bottom of the Edit menu), Transparency and Gamut. In the first drop down list under Transparency Settings set Grid Size to None. But my recommendation is to leave the checkerboard there as it is a useful tool to gauge how much transparency has been applied.

[@Brotherlyusa]

One of the best

[@njcamocutie7085]

Might b a loaded question,but can you tell me how to layer 3 photos vertically

[@TimoFromNorway]

You didn't explain how to add a picture over a background.

[@aaymanafzal2499]

it's not that hard, you just go to file and open(i know your comment is 3 years old)

[@ratkatasic6395]

Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Riddleagan Made Masterpiece Remedy (google it)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning professional photo editing without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my GF finally got astronomical results with it.

[@johnhardeman5228]

Right now i'm finding layers very complicated like Timo i also just want to learn how to add a photo to the background image

[@sakthiakash5870]

What is a layer mask can you make a video of it please?

[@Talimatasipc]

Can you help with how to create a client disc?

[@JoseGomez-nj9lq]

When I'm drawing the layer 0 then make a new layer and draw on it then hide the layer 0 I can only see my lines and checkers how do I make it white , I've seen some videos that when they creat a new layer is white without checkers

[@kikohandumon2438]

❤❤❤Thank you so much Bro❤❤❤

[@Patinno]

Thank you.

[@kittiesunleashed]

Onions have layers

[@freyaglover8874]

Fun game, have a shot everytime the guy says "Layer" jeeeeezzzzzzzzz....

[@curiositykillz]

Well..this is a video about using 'layers' so....

[@MsFlavia10]

PLEASE HELP! For some reason I am trying to draw a rectangle as a new layer but it just goes directly into the "Background" layer so then I can not make adjustment just to the rectangle. And if I try to move it, the whole background moves with it too?!?! I'm think I must have accidentally clicked on something that doesn't create a new layer. FYI when I try to write text it adds the new layer perfectly.... Im just having issues with the shapes tools like rectangles, circles and lines...when I draw them the new layer does not appear in my layers window.

[@sankar-ny5bq]

great content

[@noelcom9948]

I got 2 layers but the one i want to use i under the one i dont want. how do i get my layer at the top and not the buttom?

[@davida.cubanph.d.1796]

Dear Sir: You already start with layers in place. Though you carefully explain what layers are...you fail to explain how they come to exist and how they can be combined into a single picture. Still, thank you for sharing. Cheers, Dave.

[@taleaqw2224]

How do you create your ending?

[@gcuneo]

DEEP BREATH PEOPLE! Wanna add another layer? Just add anything to your image, the new layer is created automatically when whatever is added. Wanna reorder your layers? Look on the right side and you will see all the layer thumbnails. Just click, hold and drag the layer up or down. Wanna hide a layer? Click on the little eyeball next to that layers thumbnail.

[@omopsingh3992]

[@Thirdfish]

My layers don't light up blue, it's hard to tell which layer i am using, how do i turn that feature on?
