To Show/Hide a layer press the button with a purple box around it.(right click and select Add Layer Mask in GIMP, for PSP right-click and move to New Adjustment Layer then select Show All to make the layer mask visible) To add a layer mask click the button with a black box around it.
The button with a light blue box around it is the delete key. (right-click and select Duplicate Layer in PSP and PS:CS2) To Duplicate a Layer press the button with a green box around it. #Photoshop cs2 vs gimp pro#
(in Paint Shop Pro press the drop-down arrow for more layer types)
To start a new layer press the button that has a red box around it. Also note that the Opacity slider and Layer Mode options are at the top and laid out in much the same way throughout the graphics packages, and as such these are easy to find in each piece of kit. Here I have the layer panes of (from left to right) Photoshop CS2, Paint Shop Pro X2 and GIMP 2.4 with coloured boxes around the buttons that you are most likely to use in your general editing. Here are some of the most important tools in any raster editing suite, and luckily the interface is roughly the same in each piece of software. This is always on the right hand side of each of these workspaces by default, and in GIMP it resides in the second window that opens when you start the application in Windows. Here I am going to try taking some of the sting out of the move between packages and try to explain where certain tools and effects can be found in Paint Shop Pro X2, GIMP 2.4 and Photoshop CS2. Sure they share tools but each one has placed them in different locations, word the same things differently and even categorise them differently, meaning even the simplest tasks take much longer than necessary. 
The sad reality is that this is not the case.

You might think, brilliant, now I can just learn how to use one package and I'll be a pro with them all in no time at all. Obviously not all graphics packages are the same, however some do share particular features.
