Inserting Images Into Canvas

I've done this many times, but for some reason now: everytime I open an image (as directed in a tutoiral) to insert onto a background, the image opens up but not in the established background.  The image appears very large,and when I reduce it, I seems to have its own background.  Or, in other words, it seems to have created a new canvas rather than inserted the image into the existing canvas.  How do I get that to stop happening?  In other Thank you.

If you Open an image, it will be a separate tab/window, which you can then move tool drag or select all and copy/paste etc into the target document.

 

If you Place (linked or embedded) then the image will be "inserted" into the current document.

 

Hope this helps.

I figured it out before I got your answer, but thank you.  I feel like a dodo bird.  Forgot the difference between opening and placing.
