paint shop pro users.. please help

[StillLifeMiniatures]

I\'ve been reading the tutorials for adobe photoshop, but I\'ve recently picked up corel paint shop photo x2, hoping it could help me enhance my photos a bit. The enhancing I\'ve got down, but I\'ve having a bit of trouble with understanding the layers so I can collage a few photos together. I\'m planning on doing a bunch of ebay auctions and want the best photos possible. If anyone has any knowledge of paint shop, please help. Thanks in advance..

You don\'t need layers to do what you want to do. You can increase the canvas size. Paste a number of images in to the new larger canvas and then if your photos are huge, reduce the image size.

I don\'t having it installed on this machine but I can take some screen shots tonight if you like.

I don\'t want to take a lot of your time, but screen shots would be helpful. I can get the canvas to come up, but when I try to copy and paste a second image, it comes up on a separate screen. I figured I could drag it onto my canvas, but it doesn\'t want to go. I must be doing something that\'s very simple very wrong.

Search the photography section of the forums on here and you should find an excellent article by Spacemunkie done a year or two ago that is worth its weight in gold

well to paste an image in to the same canvas is [Ctrl]+[E] - give that a go first.

Personally, I use GIMP, but the phrase that jumped into my head was \"Paste Into Layer\". Maybe it\'s under the Edit menu, or Paste Special menu. It may be \"Paste Into Image\" as well. There should be something under \"Edit\" that is useful and would explain it.

Thanks. The ctrl E worked. Such a simple solution. Now CMON site won\'t post my pics. There must be a glitch. It\'s always something. I\'ll try again tomorrow to post them. Thanks again..
