First of all I want to say hi and I think this is one of the best Photoshop web sites.

I am a newbie to Photoshop so I know very little.  I think what holds me back from going on is that, even though I can grasp the concept of layers, I can't seem to use it correctly.  Is there a web site or can someone here tell me the basic how to's of layers (how to make a layer active, etc)?

I apologize if this has been posted here already, I just started and haven't read all that much yet?
