I noticed that and wondered 😄I too was disappointed but someone has explained layering to me


I hope you are getting on ok with layering, When I taught photoshop I explained it by saying to look on layers as a book with transparent pages with something on each page in a different position and you see the whole picture looking down on it. 3 or 30 layers you can still see to the bottom layer, just remember to name each layer so you don't get lost if you want to work on one... To rename a layer you double click on the box by the side of the picture in the layers palette and then type in the new name.

You are welcome Curmudgeon, I know its easy for me to say its easy but once you get the hang of it you will find it easy and be able to use the technique on other things.. Let me know if you get any problems and I will try to help...

I take it you do not understand the post? I did a picture of a house in tree roots and Curmudgeon asked me how I did it, hence the pictures and text...

Find your background and duplicate the layer, make a selection of where you want to put your house and press Ctrl and j to make a layer on the selection. You do not move this layer all as it fits perfect to the background.. Place your house in a new layer and position it between the selection you made and the background copy. Make sure you have the auto select ticked at the top left hand side, select the cut out layer from the layer palette and take the opacity down so you can see the house and the cutout together. resize the house to fit to your liking and they put a mask on the cutout layer. by using a brush with a feathered edge you can mask parts of the cut out so the house looks to be inside the roots or what ever you use as your background layer. By putting up the opacity you can see how it is looking and if needed resize and move. When you have the house as you want put the opacity of the cut out back to 100. I did take the brightness of the house down a bit to make it look as though it was in the shadows..Using a mask makes it easier to me as you can always put back what you have taken out if needed.. I always work on a duplicate layer then if things do go wrong you can delete layers and not have to get the original picture back..With the pictures I hope you can understand how I did it...

Thank you very much Donna, I did post another the one where Curmuudgeon asked me how I did it but it had a darker house in it. I put the lighter one in here to show how it was done better...
