[Color and Black and White - The Pleasantville Effect]

I'm having a bit of trouble here. I copied the hibiscus flower on the first page to try it out with, so I can compare my outcome with someone who's already done thiers. When I select the flower, I have to copy portions of the flower until I've copied all of it. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I've followed the step by steps in the tutorial, but can't seem to get the whole flower copied to the new layer. Help! :shock:

I also tried the tutorial flower, and that's what I had to do. Worked fine though.

My favorite one of mine.

Ah, Thanks.

I'm new, I don't understand the duplicate layer thing. When I hit "Add New Layer" A layer is added but it's not the planet obviously, and when I hit "Duplicate Layer" nothing happens. Help?
