How can I select a color in a layer, and make it transparent, so that the previous layer shows through?Assuming a layer, not Background, select the color, make a Layer Mask from the selection. Or just Delete, but that’s not as nice.
Thanks!

Excuse a dumb question, but what’s the difference between selecting and deleting or making a layer mask from the selection. ((Sorry))

If you select something and press Delete, it’s gone. Boom. No getting it back.
If you make a layer mask, the stuff that you have masked is still there. You can come back to this image a year from now and work on it again and it will all still be there; the part that is masked can be revealed again, or you can change the mask to your heart’s content.
