Say I have 6 jpegs, and I wish to arrange them as one pic, how do I do this ?

If i paste into a new 'canvas', it overwrites the current pic.

airhead (a photoshop v5 novice).

 

Open them up, open a new picture, big enough to fill the whole screen 1024*768 or whatever you use, then select each picture copy it and paste it into the new picture. Move them around, you may have to resize.

Give that a go...

From the man thats trying to get his head around "layers"

 

Paste as new selection, then move around.

 

Watch your Pixel resolution though!!!

If your one picture is big on the screen then you drag it onto a new canvas and it ends up 1" square your resolutions don't match!!!

I would open & stack the 6 jpegs on one side of the workspace tiny (say 16%) - check the pixel res. (Image-Image Size) open up a new canvas in a window at that pixel res. & big enough to add the pictures on in what ever pattern you want, then using the move tool (the cross) drag each jpeg onto the new canvas, minimising each used jpeg window as you do (so you don't get confused), This adds each picture onto a new layer - keep track of your active layers to move each picture around individually, until you are happy, then Layer, Flatten Image.
