Simple question here. I resize an image to a size smaller than 8×10 then create a new document that is 8×10. I now want to drag my downsized image on to the new canvas and have it "centered".

I have been trying to do it by eye and never get it exactly right.

Thanks

Hold down the SHIFT key as you drag the image
to the new document.

Use the move tool, and hold down shift as you drag the small image into the empty canvas.
