I am trying to figure out how to save a design on say a wing and be able to go back after saving and closing the file and be able to move it around and adjust it to look correct,without having to completeley redo the whole thing, I am thinking i can save the layers,But i can'seem to figure out how to do it,Please describe in very simple terms if possible,Thank's for your help in advance. Brian

Once you have the finished photo (with the layers) save as either a .PSD or a .TIFF both of these formats will save with layers intact (I'd use the PSD) you can then reopen the file and have all the layers still there to use again. One you flatten or save as a jpeg the layers are gone forever.
On anything with lots of layers or work, I allways save as the .PSD then flatten and save again, this time changing the name slightly and save as a .JPEG thus having both, the jpeg for the web and the PSD if I want to re-open and edit at some time in the future. Wayne
