Okay, I’m reading my photoshop elements for Dummies book and I stilll have a question about layers….not a good sign!
Are layers used only when editing several pictures together to make an entirely new image, or can they also be used to work on an existing photo to make improvements?
For example: I am workin on restoring an old photgraph where I would like to improve the looks of the sky. I am able to do this with the cloning stamps, but I was wondering if I could in some way isolate the entire sky from the other images so that I could work on it and not worry about messing up the other object such as the people in the foreground.
I don’t want to add clouds, or fish, or anything else from another photograph. I just want to remove the ugly parts and stick it all back together to look exactly like the original only nicer.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated,
Kelli
