<p>I'm not really sure how to ask this question, because I've asked so many people over the years, tried reading some books, hired a tutor and even tried Googling and no one I've asked knows the answer.<br>
I need to work with many multiple layers in PS CC for portrait retouching. Every time I duplicate the previous layer it messes everything up. (Sometimes it doubles the opacity on the new layer for something that I touched up in a previous layer.) <br>
Maybe it would be easier to explain what I need to accomplish...<br>
I need to make many multiple layers that work independently of one another. I need to be able to change the blending modes and the opacity on each layer without it affecting the previous layers. This is a list of some things I need to do on multiple layers. Clone hairs on head, clone hairs on mustache, remove redness from face, skin softening, whiten eyes, whiten teeth, sharpening, etc.<br>
I already know how to do all of the above list, I just am having trouble getting the layers working together. I've tried using clipping masks in some situations, but I end up getting to a point where I have no layers left to duplicate and I've still got more work to do. <br>
Hopefully, somebody understands what I'm trying to ask and can help me. Thanks.</p>
