The most powerful feature of Photoshop is thecapability to work on different layers. This enables you to combine images,create collages, and make corrections without fear of damaging the originalpicture. Think of it as working on sheets of transparent plastic. Each layer istotally separate from the others. You can paint on a layer, change its opacity,or do whatever you want with it without disturbing the background or otherparts of the picture on other layers. The Layer menu opens dialog boxes to createnew layers. It also has many commands to merge and work with layers.
