[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 551541, member: 4381"]I can't and actually out of prinicple I won't, help you with Photoshop. But in the gimp, I can help you a lot. First, remember that everything in a computer is just a contruction by human thought to make hardware do what we want. And the hardware itself is just a clever construction as well. An image is actually a flat, 2 dimensional array of intsructions to your video card to paint each pixil, the smallest dot the video card can interpret, a certain color. All the pixils together form a flat image. However, when creating an image, we make believe that there is more than one flat image. That is a layer. So we can take part of one image and past it as a layer on another image, and then we can resize that layer or change it, or even move it until we are happy. And then we can flatten the two layers together, back into a flat image. Or, in some image formats, several layers are in the file and they can be displayed sequentially, to create an animation. Not all image formats have this ability, buf GIF and PNG files do. See this for some tutorials of the GIMP. They are fun and worthwhile. Ruben[/QUOTE]
