Still learning the ropes in Photoshop? Learning how to juggle multiple layers is one of the biggest steps you can take to improve your workflow, and SLR Lounge is hosting a guest post from creativeLIVE with some tips to help you on your way.

This guide is meant for new-ish users—the kinds of editors who have figured out the power of layers and masks, but still stumble a bit with the execution. Some steps will seem like no-brainers to experienced users—toggling the eye icon to hide layers is one of the first crucial steps to working with Photoshop at a higher level, for example. But then there are some subtly powerful tips, like learning how to adjust the curves in each layer from the layer stack.


 

It’s a relatively short guide and basically an advertisement for creativeLIVE video courses. But there’s some good info to help you along the way. Chase Jarvis is a co-founder of creativeLIVE, so there are some great things to learn from the site. Some free tutorials are available on their YouTube channel.
