Order of layers

[whitecrow]

Please tell me, how do I make the content of a layer go behind or in front of another layer? This is an important feature in creating a composite image.

Thank you for your help

Hi,
by chance, try to drag and drop the thumbnails of the layers ?

[whitecrow]

Thank-you for the reply. I see all the layer thumbnails, but they will not drag and drop. I can click them to make them active and that is all they do

I think a problem has occured with the windows interface (API).
You may save your picture as pfi file, to keep the layers in their state.
Close and re-open Pf Studio.
And then the drag and drop of the layers would match.
I never meet this trouble and use every day the Studio release.
Tell me what happends thereafter.

To set the order, you need 3 layers minimum because the background is locked

[Tom]

Yes indeed my dear Wattson !
You can also transform the background layer as a real layer, by menu Layer/Insert new background.

[whitecrow]

You are right! saving as .pfi and re-opening allows layers to be dragged into new orders.

Thanks for the tip.

Fine, i prefer so.
Could you just tell us which Operating System is installed on your computer ?
Win 98 or XP ?

OK, first off I'm a newbie and have PhotoFiltre 6.2.7 I have been using Photoshop and wanted to try out photofiltre to see what could be accomplished with it. I saw on the website where the screenshote about the features are that multiple layers are supported but for the life of me I can't find any separate layers. When I have an image opened and copy and paste another image or selection from another image it just puts it right on top but I can't tell what layer it is or even find the layer thumbnails. I know this is probably a stupid question but it's really bugging me. Can someone PLEASE help me with this?!?
