Here’s how to add a photo to a photo in the Preview app. You don’t need a dedicated app, just the Preview app that came with macOS. It’s really easy to add a picture to a picture on a Mac. You can now use the Layers inspector to move between the different layers of your image. Use the dragging points at the edge centers and corners to resize the image drag it to move it around. This will add your new image to the background, which was the photo you already had open. Use the file browser to locate the photo that you want to add to the existing image. Open the destination image, which is the image you want to add a photo to, in Photoshop®. Here’s how to add an image to an existing layer in Photoshop®. And with a Photoshop® feature called Smart Objects, you can edit the source image separately, and it’ll be automatically updated in any image that’s added to it. That’s really useful because you can then do things to one layer without affecting the rest of the image, so for example, you might hide one layer while you’re working on another or apply filters or color adjustments to just part of your image. In Photoshop®, though, when you insert a picture into a picture, it puts each image on a separate layer. In many apps, inserting a photo into another photo joins them together in a single image.

Photoshop® works differently from some other apps.
