I have just added a photo on the background. Let us just quickly click down here for the moment to Auto Update this folder and that is just Update Folder Now. Let us just have the update and there we are. Hit the update, it goes from 55 to 56 items in the list. Let me just take it down to the bottom and the reason I have got this is I have a got a PSD phone. PSD means of course, Photoshop. Photoshop generally means a layered file. Let us go into a media if you have that one and this is one of the great functions of the Expression Media. It is that you can actually preview all the individual layers. Much easier to go up and open it up in the Photoshop and look at it there. Let us just quickly go through this one, Layer 105, that is the overall composite allowed. I click through this, you can see it without the type and there is a layer of this up there which means I have just darkened the top slightly and then we have got the different type, and this composite again. Very powerful indeed, much, much easier, I happened to mess around with a few in this in Photoshop, I can just check this. Very often, the difference in choosing no penalty is one as opposed to another. Let us just click back into the thumbnail, a view of everything and scroll back up to top again. We can see the penguins and all the other pretty pictures. There we are, even the piranha fish with its wicked teeth.
