2. Holding down the 'Alt' Key on your keyboard, drag the 'Background Layer' over the 'Create New Layer' button on the lower right hand side of your Layers Palette, just to the left of the 'Trash Can' icon.
3. This will create a new layer that you will name 'Art History'.
4. Go to 'File' and 'Save' your project.
5. Now make sure that your 'Art History' layer is selected.
