Place the picture we have on the main portolio’s panel (I got the picture from Platinum Image Conception Studio). Press then Alt button and make a mouse click between the picture’s layers and the panel itself (on the layers’ palette)





Using the Rectangle Tool (U), try to make a layer reserved for the layout’s menu on the bottom part of the layers’ palette. The layer has black color.
