Let's add two DEM files to our project. Under raster, I'm going to drag and drop the first DEM. Hit okay and the second DEM. There we are. So we have two DEM files listed and basically what happens is it's color coding each of the elevations based on a random color from zero to four, 65 on one, 213 in the other. What we're going to do is we're going to actually blend these two. Let's style them, first of all, so they look similar.
