Nice trick, but I just have PS 5.0 LE on this machine and that option doesn't seem to exist, i.e., there is no LAYER FROM BACKGROUND. No big deal, but thanks anyway.
I hate to wimp out, but I'll have to get back to the experiments I was doing tomorrow. I mowed and trimmed a 3 acre resort today, 9 hours nonstop. My body is just a pile of ashes. I'm gonna drink a beer and hug my pillow for another 9 hours.
