Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 does not include a built-in Satin layer style like the full version of Photoshop.

Users can experiment with layer styles to mimic the satin texture, but it requires more manual effort compared to the standard options available in the full Photoshop software.

The first layer is your background. When you add a new layer, it's like a clear sheet of plastic. You can draw on this plastic and not edit the layer below it. If you add a third, it doesn't change the two below it. So you can tweak each layer, and if you mess up, you haven't destroyed your entire project.
