Photoshop help!!! trying to make sequence pictures

Sorry bro this is done with a camera using a quick time lapse. Or you can painstackingly have me do it for you

When you go to file open, it makes a new document, it wont add the picture to your current document. Think of it like MS word. If you open two documents, you now have two windows. If you want them in the same document, you have to copy from one and paste in the other.

Your looking for file/place. This will put the picture in the same document, and you will have to rasterize each layer to make them directly editable.

The easiest way to do it is file/automate/photomerge. this will try to do it for you, and than you can edit the individual layers by yourself. Good luck

thanks for the help im a fair newb whats rasterize??
and when im erasing one layer to expose the layer underneath what layer do i select at the side?
thanks

When you use the Place comand, you will notice that you cant edit the picture, like cant paint on it or erase it... Its confusing why PS does this but all you need to do is go to Layer/Smart Layer/Rasterize. This will turn it into a normal layer you can edit.

To delete a layer, find it in the layer panel and right click it, delete

Also if you do sequences manualy, i would use masks instead of erasing. To mask a layer, select the layer and click the thing at the bottom of the layer pannel thats a circle inside a square. Now, instead of erasing parts of each layer and loosing them forever, theres sorta a sublayer. Whereever you paint black on the mask layer, its like your erasing and where you paint white its like un-erasing.

heres what i do if i want to make a quick sequence. (all of your shots should be from the same spot and have the same exposure).

personally if i have the camera on a tripod or perfectly still, i prefer the layer mask technique. there's a youtube video about it with kittens haha. worth a watch.

nice
