The green arrow is the icon in the Layers Palette to add a new blank layer. Keep in mind that we have different PSEversions so things will look a bit different but the steps should be the same.

Here is a snapshot showing everything I talked about and hopefully it answers you questions. I have been trying to figure this out for days. I definitely do not have a 'brush' option, so I can figure out what I am supposed to use to 'paint away.'Ĭan you still help with a step-by-step? I would be most grateful. I think I am supposed to have both layers checked to show, but have the new later highlighted?ĭon't I have to select out the area I want to color? Right now, if I try to color at all, nothing happens and then when I click out of the 'brush' the whole pictures goes to a different color. Am I supposed to have the new layer checked when I do this? If so, there is nothing there, just the checkerboard background. but no 'blend.) There is also a choice for opacity. I did LayerNew, and I have the choice in the top left of the window to select 'Mode' but none of them is 'blend.' (the list includes things like solid, lighten color, dissolve, etc.

I have PE6, but the way, as a starting point. Thank you VERY MUCH for haning in here with me a bit.
