I am using ( trying) Photoshop elements v3
Would like to learn the mystery of layers - but yet to fined a simple
concise teaching if it.
Dose it have to be all that difficult, where learners like me are turned
away?
Or - am I - too stupid - to grasp the concept?

Have a look at this tutorial and see if it helps. Once the light
comes on I think you'll grasp it pretty easily.
