                         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
                          the added image.
