Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to photoshop and would love to learn this. Ok, so I drag and drop a picture to my project and it doesn't blend in to the project, it just changes resolution to fit in the picture. Any help? Thanks.

When you drag/drop a picture into Photoshop, it opens it in a new window by default. You have to drag the picture from that new window and drag it into the image you have open. You can do this with the move tool or any other tool by using the CTRL modifier. If you hold SHFT also, it'll keep the placement of the image from one window to the next.

If you're running CS4 with the new tabbed interface, you can drag your picture from one window and drag/hold over the tab of where you want to move it and then that tab will open allowing you to move the picture across tabs. Hope that's what you meant!

In what way are you expecting it to "blend in" to your project? Can you rephrase that part?

If you are able to bring one picture into another, it will match the pixel resolution of the second image to the first (though not do any resizing/interpolation). You can change its size after that, since it will, in most cases, become a floating layer.

I was confused by the phrasing as well. I was guessing "blend" meant to take two separate pictures and put them in the same workspace (as separate layers). If that's not what you meant Efrudi, then I apologize and feel free to ignore my previous post.

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks guys!
