I want to make pattern papers using layers and have found this tutuorial of someone using Photoshop CS3. How would this work in X5 .....can't get my head around it. How is the colour applied to the black pattern underneath the coloured layer. I have been searching for tutorials on making patterns with overlays all afternoon but they all seem to be done with Photoshop

I think this is easier with CorelDRAW, and you also can have the benefits of "resolution independence".
Explore CorelDRAW's transparency tool - try different merge modes.
When done, if your printer can't handle the transparencies, convert everything to an RGB bitmap at 300 DPI.
Thanks Geoff.
I Worked out how the coloured pattern was applied to the black pattern.....they used a clip mask
