Question from Amy: “HELP!!! I am wondering how to arrange two photos side by side in photoshop elements 10? I can’t seem to figure it out.”

Gretchen:  Make a background first. Choose it the size you want – then add a color or background. Next, bring your 2 photos on your new background. You might also want to “show” your grid lines for better placement of photos.

Carrie:  I usually open one photo then increase its canvas size, you should be able to do that in elements, and just drag the other photo into the empty space.

Amy: okay… I am still struggling. I can’t seem to even open up two pictures. And when I try to change the canvas size, I can’t seem to figure out what size to make it? arggg!
