I just upgraded to the subscription Photoshop. 2023?

I can't figure out how to open multiple images so I can combine them into one. It's only opening one image at a time.

Would apprec. help. Thank you.

There is also the Window > Arrange > Float All in Windows option as well.

Then there is File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack

I agree with @Stephen Marsh try with Load Files Into Stack.

Here is one way. In Photoshop:

Choose File > Open
Multiple select the images. (Use Shift if they are contiguous or Command if they are non-contiguous)
Click Open in the dialog

To combine the images into one:

Go to Window menu > Arrange > Tile (to see all images)
Select the Move tool and drag an image from one document to another to create a new layer. Repeat.
Use the Shift key before releasing the mouse to center the image

To composite:

Select the part you want to see on one layer, then click the Mask button at the bottom of the panel to hide what you don't want to see. Repeat.

You didn't tell us how well you know Photoshop, so these instructions are brief, plus there are other ways. Please post again if you need clarification.

I am still using my iMac and Adobe CS6 for my art work. Internet was failing so I got a new Macbook Pro. Was sending images over to my iMac to size and do what I want and the back to the Macbook. Was kind of a pain so decided to get subscription to Photoshop 2023 so could resize and do things on this computer instead of going back and forth....

Example

I am not having any luck. Have used Adobe CS6 a lot !!! - for years (which only works up to a certain OS and not later)!!! So this subscription is new

1. Not having any luck finding open multiple.
2. I used to click on say 4 images and each would open and I could move 3 out of the way so I could enlarge the canvas of starting image. Then select one of the other images and place it into my open area I am working on on my base image.
3. I don't see arrange or tile. Don't understand why I want to create a new later. Just want all 4 images there and open so I can see all - not just one image - so I can drage the one I want onto my base layer.
4. I don't want to hide any layer. Just want to drag the part I want to paste on to my base layer to size and position.
5. Would like to see all my images I want to work with open at one time.

I am really not understanding this.

That should answer it if the OP reads carefully. I suspect this is about tabs vs. floating image windows.

I understand that this is old, but from reading the comments and the title, I strongly feel the OP was trying to figure out how to import multiple images onto one canvas or something along those lines. But I have no idea and the suspense is killing me!
