Dragging to add a new layer

You can add a layer to an image by dragging an image file from the desktop, Bridge, 

or Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS). You’ll add another flower to the 

postcard now

1. If Photoshop fills your monitor, reduce the size of the Photoshop window: 

   • In Windows, click the Maximize/Restore button ( ) in the upper right 

corner, and then drag the lower right corner of the Photoshop window to 

make it smaller. 

   • In Mac OS, click the green Maximize/Restore button ( ) in the upper left 

corner of the image window.

2. In Photoshop, select the Pineapple copy layer in the Layers panel to make it the 

active layer.

3. In Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS), navigate to the Lessons 

folder you copied from the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Classroom in a Book DVD. 

Then navigate to the Lesson04 folder.

4. Select Flower2.psd, and drag it from Explorer or the Finder onto your image.

The Flower2 layer appears in the Layers panel, directly above the Pineapple 

copy layer. Photoshop places the image as a Smart Object, which is a layer you 

can edit without making permanent changes. You’ll work with Smart Objects in 

Lessons 5 and 8.

5. Position the Flower2 layer in the lower left corner of the postcard, so that about 
half of the flower is visible.

6. Click the Commit Transform button (√ ) in the options bar to accept the layer.
