A photoshop CS II question.

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I'm trying to put multiple images on the same piece of paper. I have found a
way using the enlarge canvas command followed by selection, copy, paste and
move. But it seems very clumsy and I get messages about being unable to move
the selected portion.

Is there and easy way?

Thanks

John

Should answering this kind of question be encouraged here? I am really
not being a dick, it's a serious question. It was a photoshop question
unrelated to photography (or tenuously). It is also a basic photoshop
issue. "I just bought a Rebel XT, does anyone know how to turn it on?"
I think the better suggestion would be to have the OP buy a photoshop
book. They would learn a lot more.

Maybe I am just grumpy this morning.

Love you.

"Dear Eatmorepies,
I discovered the exact answer to your question in Usenet Group
adobe.photoshop.windows, but found it more trouble than it
it was worth. The WinXP viewer has a built-in capability that
makes it Q&E (quick and easy)."

A better group would be comp.graphics.apps.photoshop . There he would
get a good answer.

I agree, supply the answer or don't bother to reply. In my defence (as the
OP); I did try the help in Photoshop and read parts of my very thick
photoshop book; but failed to find a better way than I originally described.
Also, my news server doesn't carry that group.

Regards

John

I did provide the answer. That is why I replied. Sorry it was not what
you wanted to hear. I was being gentle in saying that it was OT for this
newsgroups since I was unsure if it really was for all else.
