"Adobe Photo Shop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Okay, so in this tutorial here I am actually going to be talking about how to copy a layer so that we can actually create this image from start to finish and we are going to do it step by step. So basically what we want to do is we want to hit "Command or Control J" on PC, as you can see over here my Layers Palate, I have copied my background, copied my layer. You want to name one of them, I am going to name the top one "Sky" and I am going to name the bottom one "Land", okay now that we have done that I am actually going to bring the land one up and the reason why we do this, because we are going to make adjustments to the land and we are going to make adjustments to the sky, we are going to blend them together in Photo Shop. I am going to show you how to do that here in just a second, but the main reason for this clip was to show you how to basically copy the layer and rename them, to get them ready and set up for doing more in Photo Shop to make this picture look excellent from start to finish.
