Handy
Tip : Saving your graphic project in the psp format prior
to merging the layers will make it easy to return to your image
for further work as the layers remain intact.

How to work with
layers
Make a habit of adding new elements to your webpage image on a new layer.
Not everyone
advocates the use of layers for each stage of a graphic project, but I feel there
are more advantages to doing each step in a new layer than disadvantages.
Here's a few reasons; You
can move the layer around, this way and that way, both within its own layer and
up or down in the layer stack.
You can isolate, modify and delete the
image painlessly.
You can centre it instantly!
If you
have a transparent single image layer that needs to be centred precisely, Copy
each image and PASTE it as a New Layer. This automatically centres
the image.
You
can always go back to a particular layer and alter the look where necessary.
And finally,
when making graphics in layers, save them first in the .PSP format before saving
them as web graphics as .jpg or .gif. This way you can always go back and delete
layers instead of re-making the graphic.
