Are you able to progressively save a layer as a jpeg or png? For example, if I have 5 layers, but I want to save the combination of 3 unhidden layers as a jpeg or png.

@McLovin2021 Mclovin Hey McLovin2021, I don't know if your question has been answered although it was some time ago. I am a bit of a novice as well but when I go to "FILE' on the top menu bar, then scroll down to 'place embedded... or place linked' I am offered the options for images to load into PS. Once I choose said image then click on 'place" it is automatically added to my project as a layer. I hope this works for you as I'm not privy to the methods of different PS versions.

This, so far, has been the best “beginner” tutorial for photoshop I’ve seen. Great pace and voice. I just subscribed.

Really helpful and very good pace. Please keep up with these “beginner” videos to help us folks who are struggling and frustrated with this extremely over-engineered and powerful tool. Having multiple ways of doing the same thing just seems to make it that many times more difficult and overwhelming to master the application. Thanks for doing these, look forward to more in the future.

Thank you for your clear and easy deep explanation; please keep on; it's one of the best tutorials on YT!. please consider teaching brush tools & path tools & shape tools in depth; as those need your excellent professional explanation... Also Blending options and convert layer to SMART OBJECT Very appreciated. ONE OF YOUR BEST FEATURE THAT YOU TALK SLOWLY and teaching steps organized well so as any person (that the English language is not mother language) can understand you very well; so important to keep that tone for all future leasons ; I will recommend you for anyone who needs to understand photoshop basics in the right way...

I have had an uneasy relationship with PS for a long time and have ended up back in LR for my work. But now I am trying to learn to do good real estate interiors. This has brought me back to PS. You explained it in a way that I finally understand. Very helpful. Making progress. Many thanks. Your approach works for me.
