So Master Teacher, I have begun to manipulate layers, which I did not do before. I have been playing with the little eye that allows me to increase or decrease opacity. Baby steps. This is such a good tutorial. For all the steps I go through that are laborious, you teach a 'short cut'. More than a short cut, you teach a method that insures a 'cleaner' outcome.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with the community (with me!).
:-) Thank you, @agmoore. I'm glad when I be of any help.
