Thanks,

As Cherub has said, I dont think there are any tutorials for 'layers'.
Probably one of the most common uses for layers is to put more than one picture in a slide. Try this. The instructions are brief, if you dont know how to do a particular action, come back.
1. Drag a picture to a slide.
2. Reduce the size to 50% by the zoom on the motions tab, for both the starting and ending positions.
3. Move the picture to one side of the slide, for both the starting and ending positions (the pan figures should read the same)
4. Now add a second layer by holding down the CTRL key while you drag a second picture to the same slide.
5. Do step 2 above for this picture, reduce it to 50%.
6. Move this picture (layer) to the other side of the slide using the pan control of the motions tab.
Now playing your slide you should have two pictures appear side by side.
By 'playing' with zoom and pan and having different starting and end figures in the motion tab, the effect can be varied. Perhaps the first picture zooming smaller as the second picture zooms bigger.
Hope this simple 'tutorial' gets you started.

I don't think that there is any tutorial on layers on this forum.
Layers means that you can have several pictures in the same slide.
I'm not using Gold, but in Producer you can either:
1. Press Control and drag an additional picture to your slide
2. In the Layers menu, press + and add another picture.
This function allows you to play with each individual picture separately within the same time frame.
