Thanks for your quick answer, this is what I did in each step:
1. Went to the layers category, and clicked on it.
2. Then clicked on" Importing a new image".
3. Chose my picture for my Background, and clicked on it.
4. My picture is on my screen with no problems.
5. I wanted to add a new layer, so I clicked on " Add a new layer".
6. Then I went to importing a new image and chose my picture, and clicked on it.
7. The picture did not show up on my screen, but the picture did show up on the configuration screen after I saved. Not sure why that happened ?
Thanks, LadyG1951
