 * 1) What is the purpose of layers in an image?
 * 2) What tools can be used to modify and arrange the various layers?
 * 3) What is image "flattening"? Why is it an important final step?
 * 4) How is the Creative Commons License the same and different from Commons images?

Flickr commons is a place where old pictures are not copyrighted because the owner has died. They are similar because they were both copyrighted images and a place where you can use and adapt upon photos.
 * 1) The purpose of layers in an image is to make something look like it's there when it's not there.
 * 2) The tools that can be used to modify and arrange the various layers are cropping, the lasso, and the magic wand.
 * 3) Image flattening is when it makes the picture one, so it doesn't look like a background and a layer. It is important so it doesn't make your picture look edited.
 * 4) Creative Commons is a place where pictures are copyrighted, but the owners are giving you permission to use the picture as long as you give credit to the orighinal photo.

Steps
 * 1) I went to Flickr commons and got a picture of a desert and a picture of a bear
 * 2) I dropped in my background and layer
 * 3) I lassoed the bear so it was just the bear and not the background.
 * 4) I copied the bear and put it so it looked like they were walking in a line.
