How to Open Images as Layers in Photoshop

- Learn how to open multiple images as layers in the same Photoshop document, and how to place more images into your document as you need them!
Whether we're compositing images or designing layouts, we often need to load two or more images into the same Photoshop document. And each image needs to appear on its own layer within that document. But that's not how Photoshop works when we open multiple files. Instead, each file opens in its own separate document, forcing us to move the images ourselves from one document to another.
But there is a way to open two or more images at once into the same Photoshop document using a command called Load Layers into Stack. And we can add more files to the document as we need them using a different command known as Place Embedded. In this video, I show you how both of these features work. We also look at a few options in Photoshop's Preferences that make placing images into your document even faster. And at the end of the video, I show you the steps I used to blend my images into a simple double exposure effect.

My thoughts exactly...
Hello Steve, I am new to your channel and you have answered the million dollar question for me in this video. I have spent many hours going through videos telling me to just drag and drop images and everything will be ok and having no luck and no one to help. Finally a Google search brought me to your website and the answer and I thank you so much for stepping through this simple process and allowing us to learn these basics. I look forward to checking out your library of Photoshop videos and learn from you. Take care and thanks so much!!!!
WOW!!! That is the proper way to explain to , not only a beginner, but an 82 year old guy who still loves to learn, Glad to have found you and looking forward to watch all your videos. Thank you.
Great to hear it was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Excellent tutorial, Steve. Miss hearing from you more often. You are still the best at explaining processes ... clear, precise, even tempo. Thank you.
Thanks Frank!
High level demand of academic job done round here!

Wow, amazing. I am an absolute beginner in photoshop. You explain and show everything so that I am able to follow. Excellent tutorials. So happy to have found you. Thank you,
I tell my creative and non-creative people this is the channel to follow. Thank you.
Thank you. This was exactly what I needed and short enough to keep my attention.
Nice overview. Very well presented and wonderful that you have provided a link for a printable version. Best tutorial I've seen in awhile.
Excellent Tutorial, thank you. I like the white light effect on the portrait by itself. I'm trying to duplicate that process. Then the other layers have an even more dramatic effect. Very nice

just a tip to not go into select and then deselect. Use ctrl + d
great video :) A question, I have multiple photos slighlty moved (cause camera moved) and need to align them. If i open all as layers is there any quick way to save each one with their original file name? I tried also opening all as seperate documents to solve that but need a reference (are there common guides for all open documents or something similar?)
Magic! Thanks!
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching!
Yes I liked it very much. Thank you.

Plz I have a problem
When I did all of these movements I didn't find any pics although they are existing!
I can found them easily if I choose open photos or any other way expet the one with the scripts, I don't know why?!
Man... you are so helpful.
Great to hear it! Thank you for watching!
Steve with yer lessons and my creativity >u> Im gonna do alota work
Sounds good! :)

You are very welcome! I hope it was helpful.
thank you
Thanks for the video, but could you please tell me how to open a single image as a new layer? This seems like it should be easy but i'm stuck!
Right click the layer and duplicate
Two photos I used to follow this tutorial were different sizes and also a different size to the main background photo. Although the finished effect looks nice - there is a definite edge to each photo. I would like to get rid of this. How would I do that? Thank you so much for your brilliant tutorials.
Thank you
I hope it was helpful. Thank you for watching!
