struggling with layers

[chappers]

Hi all, I hope someone can help me out, I suffer with various health issues and can't seem to concentrate on following videos for some reason Is there a comprehensive written walk through available on layers ? I am trying to swap face/head and match skin tones on the finished image, I'm ok up till I have to use a layer with the cut out face so i can erase it after moving it to the first image.....

Not sure what you're doing here. Can you post some screen shots of the layers panel?
