Now click on the top small box on the right. Bring the two small boxes on the left into the middle. Now click on the gradient which will open a new window. Select the rectangle shape and make the fill a gradient. Make sure it fits in between the 40% and 60% guides. Make three vertical guides at 0%, 50% and 100% Make three Horizontal guides at 40%, 50% and 60% 8. I suggest when you start a new project you make two guides, one vertical at 50% and the other horizontal at 50%. You can choose weather the guide is vertical or horizontal. To make a new guide go to ' View > New Guide'. You can create a group by clicking on the folder button at the button right hand conner of the window.

Lock Transparent Pixels - This will make the pixels you erase black instead of getting rid of them.There are Three different types of Locks. Layers can be locked which means that they can't be edited until you unlock it. To create a new layer go into ' Layer > New > Layer' or by click the box with folded conner at the bottom right hand conner of the window. Each layer is an individual which means you can edit it without editing any of the other layers. Layers are what they say there are, Layers.
