Steps to Layers and Manipulation for __10 Little Ducklings:__
 * Guiding Questions:**


 * What is the purpose of layers in an image?** The purpose of the layers is to combine two or more images to make it look like they are one image.


 * What tools can be used to modify and arrange the various layers?**
 * 1) First, you find an image on Creative Commons, Commons images, or Google or something, just make sure you have permission.
 * 2) I then saved two pictures.
 * 3) Then you could either find another image or keep putting layers on you first image. I picked two picturs.
 * 4) Go to pixlr.com
 * 5) Go to pixlr editor.
 * 6) Then you go to open image from computer and open up your first image.
 * 7) Erase the background of the first image by either, cropping, erasing, or using magic pen. This will be your first layer.
 * 8) Then you save that image. (if you want to make that image smaller or bigger go to image size and type in how big you want your image.)
 * 9) Next, open up your second image and go to layer.
 * 10) Go to "open image as a layer", pick your first image and drag it where you want it to go on the second layer.
 * 11) I then erased most of the background of the first image.
 * 12) Then, click the arrow to move the first image to position it.
 * 13) Save it when you are finish it, this will flatten it making it one image.
 * 14) Next, go to the wiki and open up your image on your wiki page.
 * 15) Click file and upload your image.


 * What is image "flattening"? Why is it an important final step?** Image flattening is when you save the image, in doing this, you flatten the image into a single layer. This is an important final step because then you can't make anymore changes and all the different layers become one.


 * How is the Creative Commons License the same and different from Commons images?** Creative Commons and Commons images are the same because neither of them are copyright and you can use their photos. The difference is that Creative Commons makes you give them credit when you use their photos, while Commons images do not.
