Hi Judy,
After you go to the Select menu and choose All, go to the Edit menu and select Copy. Then, click in the window of the other photo and choose Paste from the Edit menu.
You’ll then have both versions of the file in two separate layers.

As with all the videos I’ve watched so far, this was excellent. It was easy to follow and I could see why the changes discussed were made. I did notice everything was done in 8 bit mode. Is there somewhere in the wonderful site that tells how to handle things in 16 bit. It’s most likely my imagination, but I think printing in the 16 bit adds something, but I lose so much of what I can do with Elements by not going to 8 bit.

This looks like a great way to improve a image and I hope to try it soon.

The ability to change white balance after the shot can not be better demonstrated than Matt done here. Most folks use the double process technique to get better Dynamic Range (get detail in both the highlights and shadows) and may not think to use it as Matt done here for WB.
This video is a great example of unless I’m shooting action sports, I shoot RAW. The benefits of RAW just far out weigh the negatives IMHO.
This technique works especially well on Fall scenic shots where the warm tones look great on the tree’s and foliage but the sky needs to be a cool white balance.
Great video Matt!
