How to open two images for blending or layering them?

I know this will be a very stupid questions for hundreds of Photoshop users, but I have watched numerous video tutorials and read manuals and I still cannot open two photos into Photoshop to blend them. Specifically, when I go to File>Open and select the file, no problem. The image opens and is in the workspace; however, when I go to File>Open and select the second image, problem! The second image simply replaces the first opened image in th workspace. I also see how other simply slide one image over to another image to combine them; I simply cannot do that! What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do to simply be able to combine the two photos for blending or layering.
I greatly appreciate your experience and help, and I am eager to get your answers!! Thank you!!

THANK YOU! Your answer was the correct answer. Like an idiot though, I clicked on "Answer Helpful" instead of "Correct Answer!"
I have already tried your suggestions, and everything worked perfectly the first time through. Thanks again for your help, as always!!

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

How to combine two images in preview onto one page

Sorry if this topic doesn't go here - there wasn't a "preview" category.
I have two images that i want to print out on the same page and right now they are each on a separate page in the same file in preview. Does anyone know how I can combine them onto one page?
Thanks

Photoshop Elements 13 how to open an image as a layer?

Hello, I recently received as asked Photoshop Elements 13 for Christmas, and have been using Gimp for about a year now as a substitute. However, when I went to start a project, I couldnt figure out how to open an image as a layer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Heres an example with 2 images. I want to get the image you see in this picture, and place it in the original image as a layer, not a separate project.

How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

Open jpg image for readin error -- bandOffsets.length is wrong

I have the following code to open and image for reading:
          BufferedImage image = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new File(url));
very easy.
But, I get an error with some images, the error is:

Any idea about what cause the error or how to solve it.
Thanks for any idea or comment.
Albert

The relevant code in the java classes is this:
        public Interleaved(ColorSpace colorSpace,
                           int[] bandOffsets,
                           int dataType,
                           boolean hasAlpha,
                           boolean isAlphaPremultiplied) {
            if (colorSpace == null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("colorSpace == null!");
            if (bandOffsets == null) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("bandOffsets == null!");
            int numBands = colorSpace.getNumComponents() +
                (hasAlpha ? 1 : 0);
            if (bandOffsets.length != numBands) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException
                    ("bandOffsets.length is wrong!");
            }Did you maybe save an image as jpeg that contained transparency? When I do that with GIMP a warning pops up telling me that jpeg does not support transparency and if I would like to ignore or export. Here you should choose export.
If that is not the problem I suggest you put some breakpoints and start debugging.

Hi Dibya,
you can skip the pattern matching part if it's not interesting to you. Only look at the "GoldenTemplate"-part.
I can't (and will not) look at the example in more detail, but generally such examples are given with block diagram...

How to open two docs at once for a collage

I am trying to create a collage. From reading Evening and Kelby it seems that I should create a blank document and then open the photos that I want to include. My next step is to make a selection or drag the whole file to the empty document. Finally, I should use free transform and move the layers around for my final result. My problem is that I cannot open two documents at once. If I create the blank document, once I open a photo it relaces the blank but I cannot have both open at the same time. I have looked through my books (no shortgage of photoshop books, just practical experience) and tried a search. Doers it make a difference if the photo I am trying to open is not in Lightroom or Bridge but simply on my desktop. I am certain that I am missing something simple but the solution eludes me. CS4 and an iMac 24. Thanks.
Jack Polatin

If you want to work in tabbed view, do it like this:
Select the move tool. Go to the tab that contains one of the image files.
Drag the image over the tab that has the blank document (Keep holding down the mouse button). Wait till that tab opens.
Drag & drop the image into the blank document.

Script to open the images for stitching

http://www.creativepro.com/article/auto-stitch-with-photoshop-cs3 has a tutorial that I think I could follow except it says "You could also use a script to open the images and place them into a single layered document" but doesn't say how do do that. I can't find anything about the script, nor can I figure out how to get one jpg into a layer in another document. I've been using Fireworks as that's easier, but I've had people tell me I should be using Photoshop to do it. Help!!!??

Thanks - both tips worked, and I can see a reason for using the two different ways depending on my post editing needs. It did take me some searching through the help files to find that PhotoMerge in the PC version of CS3 is found in the Bridge program (under tools).
I'm not sure if I'll be able to click Answered after posting this, to show a "best answer" and if I can choose two best answers, but just in case, both tips are "best answer".

How to open two sockets in one single server

May I open two sockets with different listening port numbers in a single server? For each socket, the way to deal with the inputstream and outputstream is different. May the thread be like this:
public class twoSocketServer implements Runnable {
public twoSocketServer() {
try{
SSLServerSocketFactory fact = SSLServerSocketFactory.getInstance(rand, selfPrivateKey, selfCertificate, trustEngine, null);
serverSocket1 = (SSLServerSocket) fact.createServerSocket(ListeningPort1);
serverSocket1.setNeedClientAuth(false);
serverSocket2 = (SSLServerSocket) fact.createServerSocket(ListeningPort2);
serverSocket2.setNeedClientAuth(false);
} catch {...}
public void run()
while(true)
try
SSLSocket socket1 = (SSLSocket) serverSocket1.accept();
new handler1(socket1).start();
SSLSocket socket2 = (SSLSocket) serverSocket2.accept();
new handler2(socket2).start();
} catch {...}
class handler1 extends Thread {...}
class handler2 extends Thread {...}
Is there something wrong with this idea? If yes, how can I correct it? Thanks.

try
SSLSocket socket1 = (SSLSocket)
serverSocket1.accept();
new handler1(socket1).start();
SSLSocket socket2 = (SSLSocket)
serverSocket2.accept();
new handler2(socket2).start();
Is there something wrong with this idea? If yes, how
can I correct it? Thanks.You can do it.
In the above code block you are going to need two threads. One for each SocketServer. The accept() method blocks until it recieves a connection. So in your above code it would first wait only for a connection on port 1. Then it would wait only for a connection on port 2. And then start over. That probably isn't what you want.

How to open multiple sessions for one user?

Sorry for the silly question but I couldn't find it googling or searching through this forum, so I started wondering whether it's possible in SQL Developer to open multiple sessions for one user. I'm fairly new to SQL Developer and databases in general.
When I open SQL Developer and connect to a schema, a worksheet opens named MYSCHEMA. If I disconnect then connect, another worksheet opens, named MYSCHEMA~1. I assumed these were different sessions, but if I enter into one worksheet:
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 1
update my_table set col1 = 0 where row_id = 1
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 0and then enter into the second worksheet:
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
-- shows result is 0I would have expected the second worksheet to report 1 because the first worksheet did not issue a COMMIT. Thus, I'd guess both worksheets are the same session? Is that right? If so, how do I have two sessions open simultaneously (opened by same user)?
I'm trying to implement the code at the bottom of this post, for which testing requires at least two sessions:

Thanks Jim,
Ctrl-Shift-N doesn't do anything for me. I'm on a mac -- by experimenting it looks like command-N does what you're looking for. This appears to be the same as left-clicking on the "New" icon in the top left corner of SQL Developer, or selecting from the pull-down menu, File > New.
This opens "Create a New" window that appears to be a wizard. What would I select at this point? Options are: Database Connection, Table, View, Package, ...
I don't see an option for "Worksheet".
UPDATE:
OK, I found that if I select "SQL File", a worksheet becomes available. Perhaps this is what you intended. However, when I issue the command
select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1;it still returns 0 instead of 1. Hmm, maybe my initial assumption was wrong -- if this is a second (e.g. different) session, should I expect the changes made in the first session in SQL Developer (the UPDATE command) WITHOUT a commit, to be observed in this second session? I thought that changes made in one session were not viewable in a different session until these changes are committed in the first session? If so, how to show this in SQL Developer? I must be missing something basic here.
Or, is SQL Developer issuing some sort of "auto-commit" without my knowledge?

How to open two files in the one window in PSE11?

In older versions of PSE I was able to open two picture files in the same window by just resizing them smaller so that I could deal with them side by side........I couoldn't do it in PSE=10, and I upgraded to PSE11 and still don't know how to do it. Can somone assist me? Thanks..

In the Organizer select two thumbnails and hit the F12 key to compare them. But I guess you mean in the Editor application. In Expert Mode it‘s possible to work with floating windows rather than fixed tabs but you first need to set your preferences. Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General (Windows)
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General (Mac)
Then put a checkmark in the box against “Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode”
Click OK
You can now open your two images and use the layout button at the bottom to choose various configurations or to cascade.
