Basic paintbrush question

[weeroona]

Hi,
I have never figured out how to draw on a layer. I can erase bits of the layer but when I try to use the paintbrush or pencil to draw it back in, nothing shows up. I have tried making the layer to Image Size but that had no effect.
Thanks!

You can only draw on a part of a layer that is included in the mask. Toggle the QuickMask to make sure you have the area you want to draw on is selected (reddish), or go to the menu (edit menu, I think) and "Select All".

Also make sure you have the layer you want to draw on selected in the layers dialog.
