In the tutorial I followed ladygris makes a stamp of all the layers (Ctrl—Alt—Shift—E). I can't find anything named "stamp" in Paint Shop Pro X - is it the same as merging layers? In that case the options in PSP are: "Merge Down", "Merge All (flatten) and "Merge Visible" - I chose to flatten, but I'm not so sure it was the right thing to do...

Thank you very much for the tool tips, Nola

actually not quite the same - what making a stamp does is it creates a new layer of all the merged layers WITHOUT merging or flattening the layers beneath it. Does that make sense?

Yes, I think it makes sense - does it give you the opportunity to still change things in the layers beneath the stamped layer and then "refresh" the stamp afterwards?
I wonder if PSP has anything that comes even close to making a stamp?
One question, Nola? Do you have any idea if the "refining edge tool" is available in all PS versions? I was looking at my tool bar in my PS 2 version ( yep, the jurassic version) and all I can find is my magic wand tool. When I right click it I find nothing similar. . Or is it hidden in some menu?
I'm asking this because, for example, I don't have the pen tool.
sorry so long getting back to you - RL got in the way (grocery shopping, making lunch, eating)
I found this graphic for CS2 tools
I used to use CS2, so I did remember that it does have the pen tool.
Unfortunately, the Refine Edge tool was introduced with CS 3, so your version of CS 2 won't have it.
don't feel bad Jade... i still use CS3... i made the jump to CS5 once, but they changed a bunch of options on masking layers and i didn't like it, so i went back....
