The easy way is to create a canvas large enough for both images. Then copy and paste each and use the move tool to position them. They all have to be the same resolution.

I fyou have images with multiple layers you can either FLATTEN THEM BOTH and then drag the to the new larger canvas. "DONT FORGET TO UNDO THE FLATTEN BEFORE YOU SAVE THE ORIGINAL IMAGES AGAIN" Or you can make a Folder in the Layers pallet and the drag the folder to the new larger image surface and drop it. This way your images are still editable and your layers pallet is nice and tidy…. mmmmmmm clean layer pallet. grgrgrgrrrrrrrrr
I’m sorry Larry, I am not that bright. How do you copy and paste the pictures on to a canvas? I opened the canvas up, and I opened up my two pictures, but I don’t see a copy and paste feature, even when I right click.

Oh boy…
[ctrl]+[A] = Select all
[ctrl]+[C] = Copy
[ctrl]+[V] = paste.
🙂
Select an image – Select All (CTRL+A)
Copy (CTRL+C)
Select the canvas and paste (CTRL+V)
Use the Move Tool (arrow) to move the image around on the larger canvas. By default it pastes into the center of the visible area.

How do I take two picture files and combine them on one page. Picture Pack
looks good, but it puts the same picture on the page twice. I want to put two different pictures on one page…help!!!
George
Picture Package can do this. Each "image" box within the various page layouts can contain different images. No need to make a larger canvas and paste, simply load the different images into the different boxes, voila. I’ve printed upto 12 different images on the same page (in various small sizes) with picture package and no canvas resizing issues were necessary.
I’m sure this is pretty much the same way that Contact Sheet works except that it by default loads the different images for you.
Ok, I am going crazy. I have a canvas that will hold both images. When I select the image and drag it to the canvas, I see the little dashed lines swirling around on the canvas, but there is no picture there. What am I doing wrong???
After you select the image, switch to the "Move" tool. Sounds like you still have the Marquee tool selected.
If the image fills the whole canvas, you shouldn’t have to select it at all. Just choose the move tool and drag the image to the new canvas.
That worked, thanks Larry! I didn’t know about the CTRL+V for paste. Thank you for taking the time to help me! Merry Christmas – Best regards, George
In fact, thank you to everyone! Merry Christmas!

You forgot the smilie, now I’m hurt. 🙁
Actually the easiest would be to drag and drop the layer from one doc. to the other, No?

Hey! That’s what I said.
But in lieu of extra points, I want a gold star. 🙂
Drag n’ drop is sooooo Maccie. 🙂
Graffiti, you said:
"After you select the image, switch to the "Move" tool."etc. No select and no move tool when you drag and drop the "layer"
Now you have to give back the star Dave. 😀
Just send it to me , (8()>>

No I don’t. I win on a technicality. I also said:

I was covering all of my bases. 🙂
Actually, the answer is simple George. Hold your mouse over the images in the Picture Package preview pane (where they are currently all the same image) after you select File->Automate->Picture Package from the menu. You will be prompted to "Click to browse for file" and you can select any file you want to be loaded into that frame. Once you click, it brings up a browser box so you can browse to any image you want to use for that image on the page.
Just do it the right way the first time and follow the instructions I had given you above. this the very best way to….
Learn to structure your layers and keep you designs nice and clean. Its also very easy to move entire unflattened images that contain multiple layers around with folders in the layers pallet.
