No

Easiest way is to have both files open, then use the move tool to drag one image onto the other. This way you can decide where in the order of layers the new image will go, and you have the opportunity of cropping, rescaling and resolving colour profile issues etc., before dragging across.

I guess that chris the designer ignores the number of parameters that needs to be dealt with: size/resolution, color profile, flattened/unflattened, bit depth, color mode, position, wich document is resized if imported is larger than destination, etc.

Open both images and drag the contents over, or use the place command in CS2.

Chris t d, click on Chris Cox’s name. I doubt that you’ll be able to convert him 😉

There are many, many things that would convert a photopaint user to Photoshop, like you did…

Chris,

In CS2 the Place command does everything ‘import’ would do…
