So, what we want to do is, and I've actually copied the land in sky layer over here, and I have them hidden away so that we can mess with it later. Today, on this clip were actually going to be working with, just these top two layers. So, what you want to do is actually go to this little triangle right here above the opacity and, click merge down. O.k., so now we merged the sky with the land and as you can see we have this final result. What I want to kind of touch base on is applying different type of blend modes to this image, and were going to do that here in the next couple of clips. So, basically what I wanted to do is just teach you guys about merging down, and keeping the other one's here just for reference. Now, were going to go and mess with those. But, now were going to kind of touch base on blending modes, and what I'm going to teach you is sharpening techniques."
