How do layers work?
If you are familiar with Photoshop or CorelDRAW!, PSP’s layer support is very similar. Each layer contains images, and may have a transparent background. The sample “Timber Wolf.psp” file demonstrates the use of layers – there is a background, and several layers with different elements of the final image. If you want to remove part of the image, you can turn off or delete that layer. If you want to experiment with placement of an object on a background, you can place it in its own layer, so you can move it around without damaging the background image. When an image is saved in a format which doesn’t support layers (all of them except PSD and PSP), the layers are “flattened” and only the final image is saved.
