This week is a hard one but once you get the hang of
Layers it will be easier in the long run. Masks can be substituted with
just erasing unwanted parts of pictures and placing items where they are
needed like in the first Stickman
exercise. The reason I focused on Masks most of the class is that they
are used in color correction hopefully it will be
clearer with that application.
The best way to think of layers is comparing them to cel animation with layers of cellophane over a background.
To Start we have some Reading and helpful information

LAYERS EXERCISE
The most useful example of layers is getting that perfect group shot. Some people look great in one picture but not another by layering two pictures on top of one another and using masks you can edit in and out the best pose. Video example
One thing that was not mentioned in the exercise was layer opacity to create the Ghost effect
When you are all done with creating layers you can organize them by Grouping layers into folders to save space you can also Merge layers to cut down on layers even more
