The easiest thing to do Carolyn is, create a new canvas that is big enough to hold all of the pictures you will be adding, noting ppi of the images.
Open the other images. Click on the Move tool, and drag the image onto the new canvas. Rinse and repeat with the other images.
And you drag the image of Canvas A onto Canvas B by clicking on Canvas A, and then click-dragging from the image icon on the layers pallette for that canvas onto canvas B.
and then click-dragging from the image icon on the layers pallette for that canvas onto canvas B.
You don’t need to do it from the palette Michael. You can just drag a background onto a new image.

"noting ppi of the images"
Is the reason to note to make sure all the images will fit on the new canvas….or is there some other reason?
"Rinse and repeat with the other images"
What does rinse mean?
Your suggestions worked and removed a hurdle I wasn’t able to get over. Also learned how to reply in the forum…copying a portion to which you are specifically replying!
Thanks so much! As a newcomer to experience the response of people willing to share and help is awesome.
Another way is to open a new canvas and use the Edit>Place command to insert images as "Smart Objects".
This method has two advantages. First, you don’t have to open each of the images to be inserted. Second, you can resize each smart object as many times as you like without losing quality.
Hope this helps.
Chris.

Adding a right chevron ">" at the start of the paragraph you are quoting will indent it as above.

It is to suggest that, if you open a new canvas and it has a ppi of 300, and you drag an image with a ppi of 72 onto it, it will be very, very tiny. Conversely, if you have a new canvas that is 72 ppi and drag a new image onto it that has a ppi of 300, it will be bigger than your canvass (most likely).
So it’s a good idea to have the ppi match.

That just means, repeat the process for as many images as you have – just drag ’em over.
Michael,
I learn something new every day.
Me too. That’s what I love about this place.
I believe we have successfully located the only person left on the planet who has never read the instructions on a shampoo bottle. 😉
(((Note to self: Contact all hair products manufacturers and assure them that it’s now perfectly safe to remove those instructions from their bottles.)))

Hmmm. Personally I think all such things should be labelled in braille.
I remember sitting in the bath rinsing the shampoo off my hair and reaching for the conditioner.
I’d massaged it well in before realizing my dear wife had left a bottle of IMMAC on the side of the bath. (since renamed VEET the hair removal cream!! )

As someone who fanatically valued my waist length hair at one time, I have a by-now built in protection meme that would never allow that to happen. Not blindfolded, not drunk, not in a hurry, no way, no how.
Call it hair Spidey sense, if you will, but it just WOULD NOT happen.
Soooo, Chris. Did you end up shaving it all off and starting over?
There’s a locker room story in there somewheres…
Oh dear! I can almost sense the "off topic" police lurking around the next corner.
Phos, I’ll respond quickly before this goes the way of the wiskey thread this morning!
No I didn’t shave it off. Luckily I realised my mistake in time – but there were a few scary handfulls I can tell you!
I too used to "sit on my hair" back in my band days, but it was a respectible shoulder length during the "revenge of VEET" incident.
There – I’ve said too much. F/Host will pounce any minute! I’m off to the lounge! <g>
