Adding Layers

[Owen Gailar]

How to add two or more separate images as layers.

[Chris Rankin]

Owen,
Open both images and then copy/paste one into the other. When you paste it creates a layer.

You can also use the move tool to drag a layer from one doc to another. Hold down shift while dragging to center the layer. I prefer this method only because you don't have to use extra ram storing info on the clipboard.

Richard, that is the method i use. So much easier

Darn, one I can do...and I'm here last.

1. Select All in image 1.
2. Copy.
3. Activate image 2.
4. Paste.

Dragging is quicker, but sometimes I can't get out of the ol' copy/paste habit. Done with keystrokes, it is pretty quick: CTRL+A, CTRL+C, click image 2, CTRL+V.

Brand new user, excuse my stupidity.

I performed above steps and it worked. Now, how do I reduce the size of the image in the upper layer so the lower layer is partly exposed? Thanks.

[Jodi Frye]

Cliff, select the layer in the layers palette so that's it's highlighted...use the 'move' tool and either click on the outer edge of the box...toolbar will pop up above...click on chain icon to keep the proportions and drag the image from the corner inward to make smaller or use the move tool and hold down 'shift' key while dragging down to keep proportions. Can also move it around from center point at any time.

what I want to do is when a user clicks on a a link it will open a little text box next to the link. Doesn't layers address this problem?

Please help?!!!

It can address this problem, but I would recommend tool tips.

You mean the title attribute?

I am not sure I am following you when it comes to the tittle attribute. What I
wanted was like a pop-up, but it isn't because a pop-up loads as soon as the
webpage is loaded. I just want this text box to load when a perticular link is
clicked.

Just copy the images one by one an then paste
them in to photo shop or you can directly drag it to the
photo shop by clicking the particular image one by one.
