Working with Layers

goldbar

I work with layers in almost everything I do in PSP.
I always start with the original and make a duplicate and do all of my altering to that. I have found that working with layers is a lot of fun! I have had as many as 20 layers or more before and they almost always turn out to be something rather unique.

The above photos are the layers I used to create the images below. I altered the Original image by adding a mask I made to isolate the couple. As a final layer I added a tube (a favorite of mine) twinkle at 60% opacity.

The above images were used to create this image with layers and some cloning. This was achieved by cutting out the unwanted portions of the image and adding layers to beef it up.
The result is the image you see below
Framed of course
