Clone (Ctrl k) the photo and using the Color Editor and the same technique from the last page change the fill and outline colors as shown above. (Spring Green Cyan is one of the "Named" colors and can be selected in the Choose Color to Edit drop down list at the top of the Color Editor).

For this next step, we need to make a path that separates the top of the mountain from the sky. Hold down the Alt key and click twice on the green bitmap to select the orange image below it (you will see the colors in the status bar change from the greens to the oranges). Press Ctrl f to bring the orange image to the front. Zoom in to about 500-800%. If you are using a stylus instead of a mouse, select the Freehand and Brush Tool to trace the top of the mountain. Set the Smoothness slider on the Infobar to about 10%. The starting and ending points of the path should extend a little before and after the image.

If you are using a mouse, use the Shape Editor Tool to click a series of connected short line segments and then drag the line segments to shape them into gentle curves.
