Moving images in from other documents
You'll start this composition by opening another i le and dragging it into this i le. Be
aware that when moving one document into another, an image's resolution plays an
important part in how that image appears proportionally in the destination i le. For
instance, if a 72-ppi image is moved into a 300-ppi image, it becomes relatively smaller, as
the 72-ppi image takes up much less pixel space in the 300-ppi image. On the other hand,
if you move a 300-ppi image into a 72-ppi image, it takes up a larger space. If you plan to
create composites of multiple images, it is best to choose Image > Image Size and adjust
the pixel resolutions of the images before combining them. In this section, you will learn
how to check the resolution of your images before combining them into one document.
