PaulWilliamson Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi, I tried changing the orders of the layers but that didn't do it. Say I had four circles, one large one and three smaller ones. How would I put one smaller circle behind the larger one, then the next small circle behind the smaller one and then do the same to the other one? So they would overlap each other. -paulw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWilliamson Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi, I don't know anything about power duplicating. I would like to hide part of the 2nd image that is behind the larger one and then so on. Like stacking or z-order I suppose. The second image would just "peek" out from behind the first one,... Thanks, -paulw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Mmmh - I don´t get the picture honestly. Do you know how to draw circles? and how to move objects? Layer Arrange can be used to change z-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or simply dragging them up or down in the Layers panel, making sure to "drop" with the mouse pointer to the left of the target layer's thumbnail.

I moved the second one back one. I still see part of the 2nd one behind or overlapping the first one. -paulw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The church image needs either a color fill inside or (more flexible) a color filled drawn shape behind (grouped for easier movement). Makes sense? Or in a destructive way go in Pixel Persona and erase the overlapping part from the underlying image. There are more possibilities like masking eg. Or draw a few vector lines for scalability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very helpful! Honestly, I was going to get around to redrawing it! Really! So what you did is great! The darn pen tool. I really need to take that AD pen course that I bought on Udemy a long time ago! -paulw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
