I have just bought CS4. I was using PSP X2 so have some knowledge of how things work.

I'm having a problem with layers.

I open up a background layer - fine.

I add a second layer and add an image - fine.

I add a third layer but when I add an image, the first two layers automatically merge together into a new background layer.

The images are all the same size and being added from the bridge.

Any help would be gratefully receved.

How exactly are you adding the image to the existing one?

Hi Hawkeye. On each of the three layers I just copy and paste. It works fine on the first two but not on the third. I intend to work on the layers once I have put together a collection I like.

I don't know why that is happening but maybe try it a different way. Instead of copy/paste, try opening the images in PS and use the move tool to drag them onto the new image.
