Sorry it sounds to you like the saga of Tarzan, however and
tutorials, imply that each layer is separate, ie with a particular
layer selected, images can be opened and other operations can be
carried on that layer only.

However, here although I have an individual layer selected when I open
a graphic onto that layer all other layers either disappear or merge,
(not sure which) with only the most recent layer visible on the
workspace and the layer pallet. Where there was once say three layers
there is now one!

The program is new and all preferences are, or should be default.

Had the layers behaved as per tutorials or a similar program I have
used, I would not have needed to request here or endure your
sarcasm.
