Ya found that, but still trying to figure out the layers get the first one up then when i get 2nd one it replaces the first
Running a trial on CS3 extended, but too spendy to buy, have an offer to buy the CS3 for 1/2 price but got to do it by the 29th before offer expires. Wanted to see first if i can figure it out somewhat as it it costs enough even at half price.

You can always drag and drop each layer wherever you want, for example if you layer 2 is on top of layer 1, you can just pull layer 2 and drag it under, and make sure the eye is always there next to the layer, if the eye is gone then that means you cannot see that layer (if that makes sense lol)..

just PM me if you have any questions, i'll try my best to help out!

It's basically the same, just not quite.

I have photo shop elements 4 (I believe), but my MIL got me the Paint ShopPro Photo X2, but I am still not getting the whole layering thing. (for editing backgrounds, adding, etc)....

I have jasc animation to do the actual avi and I can't figure the sizing out!

Why, oh why, am I so avi dumb??!!

I did it! Almost, anyway. It's 66.2 KB and I already took out one picture. How do I reduce the number of KB?

I had to do it in Image Ready. I know it's doable in Photoshop, but I have to play with that.

Wish I could help you Judy. I can do the changing pictures, but anything with words/names..etc...I just can't master. I love the avatar you have so far. Keep working at it...you're a lot smarter than I am.

You could resize KB by resizing the size of the photos and also you could play with optimize window in Adobe Image Ready. What I did thou when I resize each individual photo in Adobe Photoshop I saved the file as Save for Web. You go to File and then there is an option that says Save for Web. That way it makes KB smaller I think. I was able to add more pics in my avartar this way. Plus the size of the image I have is 125 pixels
