[photoshop-beginners] Please Help Me Figure This Out CS5

Hello All,
I am having such a hard time figuring out how to do a project in PSCS5. There is a technique I am trying to do that's on youtube. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI-9Mr7cLBY
In the beginning, Photoshop is opened up with two images being used. Image 1 or Layer 1 is a picture of a lady. Image 2 or layer 2 is a picture of a beach background. The problem is, the author of the video never explains how he got those two images to become layer 1 and layer 2. When I try to do this, I get my "lady" picture coming up as "Background" and ditto for my "beach" image.
I have viewed several videos, practiced on my own trying to do this to no avail. I decided to come here for help. I know the answer is probably very simple, but for a novice it's not simple. I did try to do it on my own before asking you all. For now, I am kind of self teaching myself and I am stuck.
Thanks All,
Barbra
