For this video we're going back to the basics
And we're going to take a look at how to add our self
Another image.
Get yourself the folder which contains the image that you have
The most simple and easiest way
is to left click on it.
To make sure it's highlighted and then you just left click.
And then drag this into Photoshop.
Once the icon pops up with a plus you can then let go of it.
And then this will drag it into your main project.
You then double left click to apply it.
And there we go we have our self the image.
Now the second way to do this also really simple.
You go to file.
Open.
And then in here you just
select the image.
Click on open.
And this will open it up in a new tab.
Sometimes you will have restrictions
if this is a background
then you just want to left click on the lock.
And then this will allow you to move it where ever you want.
Once you can move it where ever you want, you just left click.
Drag this into your first project.
And then once this is open you can then
hoover over
And then let go once the icon pops up once again.
And the difference between these two
is
if you just drag it in, it will auto scale it so you can actually see it on the screen.
If you open it up in a new tab.
It will stay at it's original size.
So as you can see this is now larger than the one before.
You press CTRL / COMMAND + T.
And this will bring up the control options.
So as you can see we now have
the
control right here
And if you wanted to you can scale this down.
Now if you can't do it that way.
Let's say for whatever reason.
Then you can go to the first tool.
Make sure that this one is selected.
And then in here they'll be something called..
"Show Transform Controls".
You just tick this.
And this will basically be the same.
Now with this one, once you've scaled it down.
To what you prefer, so let's say we want it right about..
This size right here.
We want to align it to the center.
You can then.
Go onto the first tool once again.
And then un-tick this for it to disappear.
This will also work with other projects that you have open
So for example
I have another one open right here.
And if we wanted to you can just left click.
And move this one
From here.
Onto this background right here.
And then you just let go of it.
Same as last time.
CTRL + T.
Or COMMAND + T.
To re-scale this.
And then you just drag the corner back in.
To whatever scale you prefer, you can move it where ever you want.
On the image.
Let's say we want it right..
About here.
We can just
Double left click to apply it and there we go.
Another thing about this is
Very simple.
You pretty much already know this by now but you have layers.
And with layers
You always want to make sure that you have everything above your background.
And if your plane let's say for example is covering the main image.
You can just
Move this underneath it.
And it's always here
You can always move it
Where ever you want.
You can scale it down.
Or increase the size.
Same goes for the main image which is right here.
Scale it down or make it larger.
A cool trick to this is if you press CTRL or COMMAND + A.
This will highlight everything.
And if you go to the first tool
You can align this to the center.
And then align it to the center as well here.
So this is the vertical and the horizontal
Alignment.
Press CTRL + D.
And there we go.
We've now aligned it to the center.
And that's pretty much it that's how you add yourself another image onto of a current image that you have.
And you can keep on overlapping as many images as you want.
Let's say that you had multiple ones that you wanted to import
We can
Hold SHIFT
Click on the bottom one.
You can hide these ones.
You can left click off of this.
And then you can open up a folder.
Let's say we wanted to import them all at the same time
And you have multiple images.
You just left click on one.
Hold CTRL or COMMAND
Click on the other image.
And then also click on the other image as well.
So for example the background.
Once you've got all the ones you want to use highlighted
You just left click.
And then drag this into your work area.
Same as last time.
Let go of it.
Once it pops up.
And this will put it in a order.
So the last one we highlighted
Was
The background
You just double left click.
This will move on to the next image which is the plane.
Once again you can re-scale this.
Change the size, make it a little bit smaller.
And then double left click to apply it.
And then the final one
Which is this image.
You can scale this down.
Now let's say you didn't want to scale it to the corner.
If you want to scale it in the center
What you can do is hold ALT
Or OPTION key
And this will scale it directly in the center.
It will use the center anchor point rather than the left bottom corner.
And then once again double left click.
And your action is now complete.
And that's pretty much it that's how you add yourself another image into your project.
I know a lot of you have problems with dragging and dropping the images
for some reason there is some sort of setting
That doesn't allow you to do that but I will
do a video on that eventually once
I figure it out.
I've never had the problem myself.
But I know people in the past who have messaged me on my videos saying that they can't do it that way.
But ether way, you have two options right there.
And they both should work.
And yeh!
