For example: You might start (1)—by dragging a family reunion photo (which you fixed
earlier with the QuickColor tool) onto the canvas. Next (2)—you add a little text, like
“Lynn’s Family Reunion” (switching on a shadows for that layer). Finally (3)—you add
just the right piece of clip art to finish the piece. These three separate layers combine to
create a great keepsake for everyone who attended the reunion.
Because each element in your composition is a separate layer, you can:
• select a layer
• move a layer around
• stretch or rotate a layer
• add a shadow to a layer (or to all of them)
• adjust a layer’s transparency
• set a layer in front or in back of another layer
Each part of this composition is a separate layer.
