Think of layers like transparent sheets of paper...you can stack them on top of each other and each adds a bit to the picture. I'm too lazy to get detailed...I'd suggest reading the help files to get you started.
Whoa...saving as a PDN file doesn't preserve the history...it preserves the layers you've created. It's usually good practice to save in this format, for two reasons:
a) It saves the layers you've created and all the settings created along with those
You don't overwrite your original file, which it looks like you did.
Hope that helps!
Imho, sideways things that aren't supposed to be sideways (ie people) are usually not good choices for sigs. In other words, the doctor would look better if he was right side up. Also, the text doesn't differentiate from the background very well...making it difficult to read at a glance.
kk. thx. but do you think you could elaborate more? just trying to get feed back =)
The first image seems more fluid...it has more subtle changes in color than the second one...which goes from white to black really fast. Not so great...and the text is unreadable in the second one. For what it's worth.
Different pictures, wind layer, different highlights, four different hearts...yeah...there's a lot of stuff that isn't immediately visible, but all adds to the finished product in my opinion. All my pictures are like that.
Made an extra-special effort to get mine in on time this week. Here for your enjoyment:
Stock images used were three...taken by a friend while we weren't looking.

I stand corrected. It was a pretty awesome picture.
