There will be times when you need to layer one photograph, (or a transparent object), onto another.  To do so, first open two photographs, or transparent objects, onto [1] Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 (Extended’s) workspace.

Photoshop CS4 Students
Please read my notes on [2] CS4’s Workspace Here.

Now, from the left-side Tools Toolbar, activate the Move Tool.

And left-click and drag one photograph, or transparent object, onto another - as illustrated below.

Centralisation Tip
To centralise your object: press and keep pressed your Shift Key as you drag a photograph, (or transparent object), onto another.

Image Duplication Tip
To quickly duplicate a single photograph, or a transparent object: first activate the Move Tool - then press and keep pressed the Alt Key.  Your cursor will then change to two tiny arrow-tips, one black and one white.  Now, hover your cursor over the photograph; or transparent object - then press the left-mouse button, and pull your cursor away from your image, towards the right.   Then release the left-mouse button: repeat as necessary.

Best Wishes.
