Now, we need to work on simplifying the image, because we're going to turn around and color-correct it, we're going to apply a couple of Smart Filters, and then we're going to crop our final composition as well. We don't need all of these layers intact. Now, we've already saved them off, just in case we need to come back to them at any point in time later. But really, honestly, there's nothing we can do with these layers that were produced by the Photomerge command. We're not going to move the layers around because that would destroy their alignment.
