Photoshop HELP!!!!!

OK, I found out I've got PSE4.0, but it shouldn't be that much different.

I saw no other way than to use the layering for what you are looking for.

I started out in the starndard editor,and clicked the icon for a new page, nothing on it. Then I opened up three photos to paste in that area. The photos were all seperate, and the only way to combine them was to go to the tab at the bottom of the editor, click the tab and use the rectangular Marquee tool to select them
From there, I selected copy (from the edit menu), then I went back to the blank page, opened up new space using the Rectangular Marquee, again.
From there, I clicked the paste (from the edit menu) and the photo automatically popped up there.
(I was doing all this one handed while my new bird, Chili, was eating from my hand, sometime biting the hand lol)
I can use the Move Tool to resize the photos that I pasted, and move them around any way I wish. One word of caution, is that the layers take priority over each other, so one will overlap the other (because it's like laying a stack of photos on top of each other), so by rearranging the layers, you can have them pretty much show up without cutting the other one off.
As for printing it, you may need to specify your work area for the photo size before you do the layering, though I was able to do it afterwards and the preview to the printout looked ok (didn't have the time or paper to print)

With all this detail, I do hope its describing what you wanted to do. If not, we'll try again tomorrow?
