I am trying to follow this tutorial for skin retouching and have fallen down at the first step...

1.
Dup the Background layer and then create a transparent layer over the Dup. Use the Healing Brush and/or Patch Tool to quickly remove any major blemishes - Pimples, scars, etc.As a rule of thumb just deal with the ones painfully obvious on a 25% view.



I'm assuming the transparent layer is created by creating a new default layer which are transparent. How can I use the healing brush tool on this layer which is an empty layer?
:thinking:
 
Ensure you have Sample : All Layers selected in the healing brush.
