 |
|
Hi.
i just joined this forum.
i am using PS CS4. this is my second day with photoshop. i am very familiar with GIMP but i needed PS for making web site layout. so i downloaded 1G trial and now i do not know how to add a new image as layer in existing image. i tried to drag and drop and tried import , open as but could not find a way to accomplish that.
in GIMP it is file->open as layer option but in PS i could not find similar option.
the reason i want to do is that i want to add a image in header of web page layout.
please help.
thanks
EDIT: solved the issue. solution -> copy & paste.
is there any other way to add image as layer? |

Another way is to simply open both and use the move tool to drag one onto the other.
Actually there is an advantage in doing it this way, it uses less memory, copying and pasting puts the whole image on the clipboard. |

Thanks for the move tip.
specially because I have only 2G memory and PS take more than 1G if i open more than 1 image with lots of layers. |
