RE: Image question

Greetings to the list:

The following technique was mentioned for PSP
graphics.

While I am a graphics novice, with a bit of
experimentation I noticed that with Photoshop 6 a
similar technique could be used, i.e., creating and/or
copying separate layers for background and individual
objects, and flattening them into one graphic. 

Is this style of layering a general technique used in
most graphics programs, or is this specific to just a
few programs?

TIA,
Dwayne
