Hi! I've been working on a picture and, of course, have been using a lot of layers. Whenever I choose to put the drawing up for a while, I'll come back to it later and notice that all my layers are gone. Is there a way to save these layers? I'd appreciate the help.

no no, save it as the default they have it set to, jpeg puts all the layers together so when u open it thats ur problem, so just save it as the photoshop kind then when ur finished with it save it as jpeg or whatever

Yes save as a .PSD for the layers to be kept intact, when you save as a .jpeg it flattens it all into one layer as .jpeg doesn't support layers. Wayne

you can also (if your wierd I guess :) ) save each indivdiual layer as an image, if you save it as .png I think if you choose for it to not be interlaced thats what it does, im not 100% sure though, but if for some reason your avoidng .PSDs thats an alternative, just dont ask me how to do it :)
