Natural Selection: "Lock and Load"
I can't seem to get one step of this process right. I'm fairly used to working with layers and selections, yet the "Queen of hearts, Jack of Diamonds" piece had me handcuffed.

Is there a setting I need to do or undo?

1. "Let's load up the Queen of Hearts layber by holding ctrl (sorry, pc user for now!) and clicking on the thumbnail in the Layers palette. The outlines show that area selected"

Ok, I did it twenty times, and still....NO outline. What am I doing (or NOT doing) correctly? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
