That WAS the best introduction to layers and layer masks ever. Nice and slow and assuming I know nothing. Spot on. I've seen other tutorials going over it so fast that I haven't really been able to tell what they have done. Thanks so much.

+Scott Davis Hi Scott, go to the File Menu and choose Save As, then save the file to any final type you want. Photoshop will automatically flatten the image if the image type does not support layers.

@McLovin2021 Mclovin Hey McLovin! Nope, still living and breathing! haha The reason mine says background copy is because at some point I must have duplicated the original background layer, via the layers panel. The layers you see on the right side of the screen are layers and adjustments within one image file. When you open another image in photoshop, you'll see the layers and adjustments for that image. If it's a new image, it will only have a background layer. If it's one you've made adjustments to and saved, then later re-opened, you should see all those adjustments and layers in the layers panel again. Hope this helps! Let me know :)

Well I must say that this video is in itself a lesson in how to approach an instructional video. The narrator's voice is clear, eloquent and easy on the ear. He explains more than just the HOW of the concept but more importantly the WHY's of it. It is only by understanding WHY you do something that you actually learn something to take with you when you are alone and actually processing/editing an image for yourself. Good work sir....

Well done, at the "right" pace (for me, anyway), no parenthetic confusion, no flubs, truly excellent. I will look for other such great instructions from you as I learn Photoshop.
