PLACING AN IMAGE IN AN EXISTING DOCUMENT
In Photoshop, you can combine multiple pictures into a new image. Sometimes, we need to work with
many images in one file. At times, people simply copy and paste different images into one file to work
with. But it is not recommended as copying images tend to reduce the quality of the image. So, it is
best to first save the image in your computer and then import it into Photoshop.
Follow the given steps to insert an image in an existing file:
Step 1: Select the File → Place Embedded option from the
Application Bar. The Place Embedded dialog box will
appear.
Step 2: Navigate to the location of the image file and click on the
Place button.
Step 3: Press and hold the Shift key to avoid distorting the image
and drag the corners of the image border to resize the added
image.
Step 4: Drag inside the border to position the added image where
you want to place it.
Step 5: Click the check mark in the Options bar to finalise the
placement. This automatically creates a new layer containing Placing an image
