How to drag one pic over another in Photoshop? Can't Post
How does one drag one picture on top of another in
Photoshop so they are stacked. I want to put one on top
of another and adjust the opacity.

I've heard it's something like press control+shift while you
drag but I've never been able to get it to work. (I'm on PC.)

Open both Pictures and arrange them so you can see the canvas of the main picture and the layers pallet of the picture you want to copy over. Click on the thumbnail in the layers and just drag and drop onto your canvas of the main pic.

you don't have to click anything else. just click-hold-drag one pic over another.

Thanks, Kenneth, that did the trick! One thing I found is that in order
for the top (dragged) pic to be centered on the lower pic, I would
have to hold down the SHIFT key while I did the dragging.
If I didn't hold down the SHIFT key then the top pic would drag over
but it would be off center.

Thanks for the reply, Jason.

I tried just dragging one pic on top of another before I
posted the question here. For me, just trying to drag one pic over
another did nothing at all. The key for me seems to be what
kenneth had mentioned: to drag the thumbnail of the picture
from the Layers Pallet rather than to drag the picture, itself.
