    Dragging an image into the layers panel

    SteveH59 Community Member

      Hello

       

      In a few Photoshop tutorials I have come across, the author speaks of 'dragging an image into the layers panel'. For example, there is one image, let's call it background.jpg on layer1 and that appears in the layers panel. Now you wish to open another image, let's call it object1.jpg in order to work on that, the aim being that object1.jpg should go on layer2, above layer1, in the layers panel.

       

      Yet when I open object1.jpg, in the layers panel layer1 (which accommodates background.jpg) has disappeared.

       

      How can I drag object1.jpg into layer2? That is, how do I keep my layers panel open - the layers panel that shows layer1 with the background image on it - while working on object1.jpg?

       

      Thanks
