Photoshop Text

[Revock]

I use Gimp but i assume it would be the same in PS, what i do is use a single transparent layer for text, or mountains or whatever, as i get an element i'm happy with i merge it down onto that single transparent layer,

since it's transparent if i rectangle select and cut it out later i haven't messed up the terrain or whatever other layer below. *shrug* seems simple enough to then redo that single element and then remerge it down on whichever element layer its meant for.

Of course I have made the mistake of merging down a mountain or whatever i later regretted and being unable to get rid of it without messing something good up, organization and backups are the key. I have to beat that into my brain.

I didn't do it on my website and now i have to redo the site subtitle since the shadow is missing around one element of it. But, yeah along the lines of what Djekspek said, a layer for countries, rivers, cities or whatever.
