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
Menu bar.
The Place Embedded dialog box opens.
Step 2: Navigate to the location of the image file.
Step 3: Select the image that you want to embed.
Step 4: Click on the Place button.
