I downloaded these free PS book mock-ups. I have Photoshop CC 2015.
 
 
It uses layers to make it simple to put the book cover I want into each image - ok. I'm used to Coreldraw more than PS, so this is why I am having problems.
 
 
So, for example, Mockup #1 has a layer which is the entire cover
 
of the book. I 2x click on it and open this layer in a new tab.
 
 
I know I can't edit it, but how do I simply replace the image with a JPG/PNG of my own?
 
 
So real-book-01.psd has 2 groups:
 
 
1) Edit Cover
 
2) Book
 
 
 
Under EDIT COVER it has a layer of the entire book image. I thought I could simply cut & paste a JPG in there to replace it and it would work. But I can't. I can't seem to figure it out. Frustrating. I know this must be very basic.  |

				Figured it out...using the PLACE - Embedded command, and then saving. It has now updated. Whew! Disregard question for now.  |
