I got a Question, how do i edited, lets say layer 7, but i am editing layer 8, how can i go back and edit layers? It will only let me edit the last lay i have made?

[ozwalled2007]

I'm not fully sure I'm understanding your question, but i think i am.

To work on a given layer, you need to select that layer in your Layers window, by clicking on it -- this should highlight that layer in the layers window, indicating that it is the active layer, in other words, the one you will be editing if you take any actions.

So if you'd created layer 8 and then wanted to draw on layer 7, click on layer 7 in your Layer window, and any drawing you do next will now be on layer 7.

how to put back the color choices thing i deleted it! and my layer thing

[ozwalled2007]

Try selecting Window/ Colors.

How do you do that with a picture of someone?

[ozwalled2007]

You're asking for something more complicated (and quite different).

Still, what you COULD do with a color photo is make a new layer, double click it in the Layers window to see its properties, and reduce its opacity, and then just paint onto your image on that layer with the colour you wish to use. It's certainly not a perfect way of doing things, but it may do the trick, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

If that doesn't help, please provide more detail about what you want to do.

@rainstain123 yes without using layers, stay at background (works for me might not for you)

[Freesubs71]

@sporezilla1 go to windows and find paint wheel

[Freesubs71]

@TheIanDX if its like just small white lines in the filling just fill the outline. might not be what your looking for but its what i thought :)

[TheIanDX]

Please help! Whenever I try to use the curved line tool to create an object, it never fills in all the way! How do you fix this ( and yes, ive tried using the tolerance, but it doesnt quite get the job done)?

[piper7971]

i had the same problem so thanks for clarifying this.. can you make a tutorial explaining what the options on the layers work for in the blending mode... if it is not too much to ask.. ive seen many tutorials but yours are simple and your voice is easy to understand.
