Hello to all forum PhotoshopForums!
Already know how to use photoshop well, but I'm a pretty simple problem.
I deleted the background layer (which comes in default) and create again?

Flatten the image. You probably can get away without one. Big Wink

Flatten? But it is a kind of tool to re-create the background layer?[/quote]

It should be either a blank layer or white layer (depending upon your preferences), so just create one and place it? If you have opened an image rather than created one from scratch then you have deleted the original file and should just load it again, copy it and place it where you wish in the layer stack.

Or is that over simplification?

Actually we have to create new ideas.
I just build a new layer as a background.

Thanks all for the answers.

Hi photocard,

You can also select the layer you want to make a background, go to the 'Layer' menu, choose 'New', and then choose 'Background From Layer'.

Hope that helps
