RE: [photoshop-beginners] Separating Layers

You need to google making selections which would allow to select a part of an image and move it to a separate layer. You start by trying out the magic wand tool on the moon. Click inside the moon and you may be able to create a selection that will allow you to separate it from the rest of the image. You would also need to make a selection to separate the bushes from the sky.  Not knowing what the picture looks like, I cannot guess how easy or hard all this is. And, of course, there are other tools and ways to do this if the magic wand does not work too well.

I could create a brand new image - it doesn't matter; however, if I find an image that has bushes, I don't know how to separate it's sky to put in the moon, if that makes sense.

I want to be able to move the moon behind the bushes. I need a psd image of bushes in one layer and the moon in another so I can use the psd file in a video and move the moon behind the bushes.

First of all, there are no layers to separate. What do you want to do with
the photo?

I have a single jpg image - a moon behind bushes and peeping above the top
of the bushes. Is there any way to separate these layers in PhotoShop? I
didn't create the image so I don't have the psd file.
