Hi,
each time, I start a new tutorial, the same question arises, that I couldn't solve till now.
I start a new document, there I get automatically a locked background layer. Okay. Often it tells me, chose as background color that color and as foreground color that color. Here the problem starts. I generally choose for the background layer white as background and black as foreground in the tools palette before opening a new document. What is the layer, according most tutiorials, that I should make the color-settings. The first layer or the background layer itself?
Then I never was able to figure out, what use the two settings (foreground and background) in a certain layer have. I mean, when I have a pic with let's say 7 layers, so they are all transparent, else I couldn't see the complete pic, except in those shapes or structures, where I filled a color in.
I read a lot about layers and think, I have understood most, but this here still stays a puzzle to me.
Can someone help me to understand better?
