I cannot get a second photo onto another. I open the first one and click on for a new layer, but can’t add another picture.
Thanks

isleweb, after opening your first go to file browser and bring in your second. Move it over so that both images are next to each other. With your second image selected use the ‘move’ tool and drag it over on top of your first image. Now you will see both images in your layers palette. Double click on the ‘background’ layer and you’ll get a pop up prompting you to rename it ( default is layer 0 ) just click OK. Now you are set to edit ! Enjoy.

It is starting to work, but sometime when I use the move tool it only tries to move the second picture within its box and not over to the first picture.

well then just kick it over !..just kidding…na just keep your clicker pressed down and drag it right over there…another tip with that >if you hold the shift key down at the same time it will center the second image onto the first. Also, which i should have mentioned earlier, be sure both your images are the same resolution to avoid further despair. You can check the resolution of your images by going to toolbar>image>resize>image size.

Isleweb, if you stll have problems, try this.
Select the image you want on top with "select all", go to "copy", go to your first image and apply "paste".

This will do the job too.
