    I'm trying to practice my retouching techniques in CS3. I was watching some of the lynda tutorials but there's just one thing that won't work. I can do all the retouching but only on the background layer, i would like to make a different layer for the different retouching i do but nothing will work on a new layer!

    I've compared my screen to that of the one used in the tutorial to see if i have something unchecked or something but everything is the same!

    What am i doing wrong?

    You don't have the new layer locked by any chance?

    No, the background layer is though, which i thought was the problem, but it's locked in the tutorial too.

    Duplicate the background layer, switch into it and also use tools only on that layer. For example clone tool could give you warning that the source layer is different than the layer you would like to alter.

    That'll do nicely! :)

    Yup - you were using a new layer rather than a duplicate? If you make a new layer its just empty, so you can't make any adjustments..

    Anything that's over your original should work just fine :)
