Superimposing Layers

Well, first of all, I have to admit that I'm not a kind of person who can deal with high technology that easily. I can do the basic operations on my computer but that's it. I never can fix my computer by myself if I got virus or something.

Before I wander off the topic, I want to say that it is also not that easy for me to learn the Photoshop! But, now that I already know about the existence of layers (yes. I didn't know about the concept before.), the lessons that we are dealing with now are not too hard. Good.

The first time I ever used a photo editing software, I had a hard time understanding what a layer is. I read though many web sites and blogs that explain about the software, but still the concept was ambiguous to me. However, when I used my imagination fully and visualized the image of superimposing thin, clear papers, I had an aha moment finally.
Now I can use layers without any program.

Well, see? Even a person like me can learn how to use technology!

Since my teacher said the technique we will start learning today, masks, will be difficult to understand, I'm a bit afraid. Hopefully I can get the idea by the end of this week!

Practice, practice, and practice!
