Posts: 3 		How do I "drop" objects in front of a background. I am trying to build a scene similar the tutorial illustrations. I select a background, sky for instance and select an object such as a tree. The object is hidden behind the sky???

Posts: 477 		No problem, everyone's new at some point. The tree drops in behind the background by default. There's two ways around this:

1- after dropping in the tree, select it and hold both mouse buttons down. This allows you to lift the tree up in the air. Once up in the air, let go of the right mouse button. This will allow you to drag the mouse toward you and over the top of the background, then release the button to drop it into place.

2 - before adding the tree, select the backdrop and hold the left mouse button, pushing it away frmo you and moving it into the distance. When you create the tree it'll drop into place in front of the backdrop.

I hope this helps!
