The easiest way to turn the background into a normal layer is to just Double Click on it.

Then click "OK" when the window appears...

have tried that.. but it doesn't work.. it worked in all previous versions but not in CS5 – clarkk Jun 13 '11 at 13:57
@clarkk, I currently used CS5, too. (As you can probably tell from the images.) Strange that it's not working for you, as it does for me. What OS are you using? Perhaps you're not double-clicking fast enough? – Johnny W Jun 13 '11 at 14:07
