When you're in photoshop (I assume that's the program you're using... if it's something different, you probably know the functions better than I do), you go to "Layer" which is up top next to "Image" and "Select", and you either create a new one, or you can duplicate it.

If you're trying to do numbers, I'd create a new one and make them as you go.

You dont do layers, that messes up the bitmap ingame. You have to put the textures on a power of 2 pallette. Then space them out evenly, and add a blue border around every texture. The blue border seperates the textures from each other when compiling
