Open an image as a layer Photoshop CC

[un_kn_ow_n1]

Well, can't seem to figure it out.  Never had problems on Cs6 and all the online tutorials show images being imported through additional programs.  Could anyone give me a quick rundown on how to open an image as a layer on photoshop CC?

Just opening an image in Photoshop CC puts the image on a layer. Or am I not understanding your question?

Um no, it doesn't open it as a layer.

Are you talking about loading files into Photoshop layers?

This does seem to achieve what I want.  Not sure why they would have it set up like this.  I wish the people who made gimp would take over photoshop.  They design with common sense in mind.

Trying to decipher your question, do you mean open multiple images into a new image as individual layers as Chuck answered, or do you mean import an image into an existing file as a new layer?  If the latter just create a new layer and do File > Place Embedded or File > Place Linked, depending on your needs.  Resize the image that gets pulled an and apply the transformation.  The image will now be on a new layer in the existing file.

Finally thank you. 

Why the hell would they use this kind of lingo?  Do they assume everyone who uses photoshop is a web developer?

I know that the question has already an answer, but I'd like to give my 2 cents to the topic: if you use Lightroom Classic you can select 2 or more shots, right click on one of them, edit in, open as layers in Photoshops.

I think that this is the best way to do it, could be that this is possible also from Bridge, but I haven't it installed then I can't test.
