Fun With Layers

Layers are a terrific new addition to Paint Shop Pro 5.0.
They're even more functional in PSP6 and 7.
I've found a lot of uses for them.
Layers can be used to make many buttons that are exactly the same except for the wording on them.
I made each of these using the same background (for the button), and using different letters in each layer.

Layers can be used to experiment with different frames for your favorite photographs.

One of my favorite uses is to put silly effects into perfectly normal photographs.
Start with a normal photograph like this one. It will have just one layer, the background.

Normal 1 Layer

Next, let's add a hat (or two).

2 Hats 2 Layers

Now maybe a couple of ties and some eyewear.

Eyewear and Ties 7 Layers

And then - just a couple of finishing touches . . .

Etc. 12 Layers

And a frame to finish it.

Finished

Many thanks to the fine folks in the photo.
