Layer order question for PS7

I read through the layer posts in memories and still didn't find what I'm looking for. I'm new to all of this and am trying to figure out how all of this fits together. I have read through tons of tutorials and the one thing I haven't really seen addressed is how the placement of the layers affect each other.

I would love specifics as to what difference there is on a picture by specific layers being over or under. What layer combinations have you found that give you specific things you like, that you recreate in new icons. What is a rasterized layer? What are your favorite ways to use layer masks, this topic seems to have the most coverage when layers are addressed in tutorials.

As is evidenced by the name, I'm a very curious person and would love to read anything on this topic that anyone wants to send. I would also love tutorials, it is great to find them when they have screen caps and give you the progression of how to get to a tool and then the settings-it is frustrating when there is the asumption that you will know where certain things are on beginner tutorials.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to learning more,
