"Adobe Photo Shop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Okay, so for this little tutorial here I am actually going to be talking about "duplicating a layer". Now, duplicating the layer like we have done earlier is basically is just Command or Control J, but before we do that we want to click down on the very first layer and now we want to Command or Control J. Actually, you do not want to click on that one, you want to click on the top one, I am sorry, hit Command or Control J and that way it duplicates the master layer. What we want to go ahead and rename the bottom one, we want to go ahead and rename this one "Black and White". As you can see I just did. Okay so now that we have named that "Black and White" as you can see we have three layers now, if we take that one off and added that one you can see that it actually has not done anything yet but all we have done is duplicate the layer. On the next little tutorial I am going to talk about dropping the saturation on the bottom layer that says "Black and White"."
