10. Take one last look around:   
11. And say OK!                                               :

6. Arrange your windows 6-up (if you have more than 6 images you will start with the first six):                                                      
7. They will look something like this and you should see your checkerboard master image:                                            
8. Select an image OTHER THAN YOUR MASTER IMAGE and look for its LAYER:
