Go to VIEW>NORMAL VIEW. Now click the magic wand again and click on the rectangle and flood fill it with a darker color I used dark blue. We'll be changing it back later. Now click the visibility button beside Layer1 so that we can see Layer1 too. If you need to line up the blue layer with this one just click on Layer3 and click the selection tool and draw a rectangle around it and single click inside and drag and drop it where you need it to be. Click on Layer1, click the zoom tool, single click on the pic.
