Do more tutorials and checkout how the start up file is set up (using image layers).

I think tutorial 4.4 is what you're after? If not could you give us a few more details of what you're trying to achieve.

By the way, you'll find that half the answers in this forum are "go over the tutorials again". I've been through them 5 times now and I'm still learning new things each time -- the information is so compact and it really needs experimenting to fully understand some of the differences between various options (eg, region vs flexi-binding took me a while to "get", and with masking I'm still not 100%).
