Adding one image to the side of another image

Charles, after the "Select>All" step (marching ants around the second image), . . .

- Go to Edit>Copy (Ctrl-C).
- Click on the first image to activate it.
- Go to Edit>Paste (Ctrl-V).

To make this process easier, you can have both images displayed side by side on the workspace. Go to the Layout button at the bottom of the screen and select "All Column".

Sorry, Charles. I assumed you were within PE. I'm glad that Sepiana was able to help you out.

Sepiana,

THANK YOU very much for the information on how to put both pictures shown side by side!!  I knew that was possible but did not know how to do it, and I also did not know how to ask about this!!

That is really a HUGE help!!!  

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!

PS Did I say Thank you yet??  <smyle>

There are many ways to skin that cat.

The way I use is quickest/easiest for me.

With both images open in the Editor, at the top of the window, open the "Window" drop-down menu > Images and ascertain that "Cascade" is NOT checked.

At the top-right corner of the image window, click the little box/icon that is between the _ and X; this will cause all open images to display at once.

Click on the image that you wish to move onto another image.

No special tools needed = in the Layers stack, "grab" the layer (or group of layers) and drag/drop it (them) onto the target image.

If they are the same size and you want them centered, hold the Shift key while dragging/dropping and it will automatically center; otherwise, use the Move tool to position the layer(s) {read the next line first}

When you have got your image on top of your target image, click the little thingie between the _ and X again and the image will fill the window.

Now, if necessary, you can use the Move tool to position the new layer(s)

If you Control/Click the new layer(s) and the Background layer, thus selecting them, you can utilize the Align feature of the Move tool = it is pretty much self-explanatory.

Once you have worked through the steps, it is much quicker and simpler than it sounds. (I guess I should say "reads" ; there is no sound involved with the typed word)

Charles,

Adobe made some changes back in PSE 9 -- Tabs (Tabbed Images), Floating Documents. The "Cascade" option is grayed out if you are working with tabs. To make this option available, go to Edit>Preferences>General> . . . turn on "Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode".

Sepiana,

I was just trying to follow Buckskin's instructions to see how different it would be.  Since I have no idea what Cascade is or what it is for I am really not going to worry about not being able to follow that.



Buckskin,

I do thank you for trying to show me another way.  It is really OK that it did not work!
