ok, i'm fairly new to elements 9 and Photoshop in general.  Tutorials that i have watched concerning layering shows a photo in the edit section with layers, but when i put a photo into photoshop it is a single layer?  am i missing something?

    When you open a photo-file in Photoshop Elements, in comes in on a single layer - the Background layer.

    If you select an object from another photo-file, and copy/paste it to the first one, it will come in on another layer - now you have two layers.

    If you tell us more about what you are trying to do, we can probably provide additional guidance.
