OH NOES! WHAT THE HECK, LJ? (aka SisterRed muffed up again)

This morning I marked 5 comments in my inbox to be deleted - and LJ deleted 900.

???????????????????

Granted that solves my problem of having 900+ entries in my inbox but that wasn't what I wanted it to do! That 900 included some lovely recent PM's & conversation from y'all I'd been saving on purpose, birthday listings, how-to advice. In fact it deleted EVERYTHING except stuff I'd red flagged as "important" - about 21 comments.

(ok so maybe the fault isn't with LJ; maybe I clicked on a box that said "delete all" without paying proper attention. I am woman enough to admit it. albeit in small font.)

Damnity damnity damn damn it.

Oh something just occured to me...

Or here's a tutorial about adding a logo. That's using 2 pictures to create 2 layers.

I don't know why I'm so slow on the draw - but this is basically how icon awards banners are created, isn't it?

Well the point was that another layer was being added. Doesn't really matter if it is a background and a logo or two images. It's just about merging two different pics. That was the point I was making.

But yes, it is most likely how icon awards banners are created.

Right, exactly - but it took me a little bit for my brain to start to process what I'd seen and begin to think about how it could be applied. Thank you again!

I finally watched the first vid you linked me to about cutting out an object (thank you, very helpful) and found and Australian lady who does all sorts of useful ipiccy tutorials as well.
