There's the sky, the mountains, and the green cactus in the foreground. Well, let's explore cutting this up into layers. I'll switch on over to the Desert file and begin by duplicating the background. This way I have a reference, and I'm going to ultimately need three copies. Let's call this Sky; duplicate it again.
