# just view them like transparencies on an OHP, or cells for animations
you can shift them about and do want you want with them

once you are used to the idea, they are spectacularly useful

# aha!
I can use adjustment layers with clipping masks so I can readjust properties of particular layers.

This is all going to make sense.

# what's up with them?
they only confuse me sometimes when they link (or don't link), or when stuff goes in new layers automatically, or when i cant quite figure out how to move all the layers around at once.

# it will make a new layer every time you paste something
just right click and merge down if you need it to be on the same one.

If you make a new layer above your fish, then right click and Create Clipping Mask, it will only show pixels where the fish is opaque, so you can draw shadows and stuff without worrying about going over the edges.
