IвЂ™ll move the new sky layer up until the horizon line on that layer is just a bit below the horizon line on the underlying pier image. I want to be able to see both the new sky layer and the background image at the same time, so IвЂ™ll get the Move tool in the Tools panel, then click Opacity at the top of the Layers panel, and lower the opacity of the sunset layer. IвЂ™ll double-click on the layer name and rename it вЂњSunset SkyвЂќ. Now IвЂ™ll go back to my composite file and choose Edit > Paste to paste the sunset sky as a new layer. IвЂ™ll select the sunset sky image by choosing Select > Select All, then Edit > Copy. IвЂ™ll choose File > Open and choose the Sunset Sky file. For this step, IвЂ™ll use a simple copy and paste method. There are lots of ways to add a new image. I already have the main image open in Photoshop and I want to add a more colorful sky.
