Hi Dave ...
Not really. He's duplicated the background layer, that's all. In that
manner he doesn't work directly on the original. That doesn't change or
modify the technique, and is unnecessary (but still a good idea) if you've
saved the original and are not working with it, as you should in any case.
NEVER work on the original. Always save your layered work-in-progress
files.
