Simple question.....when you drag a photo onto a larger photo ( in this case a white background) how do you quickly and easily center it? I can move it around with the arrow and it LOOKS centered, but how do I know? There must be a fuction that does it automatically.

Hold the shift key while dragging.

Another method, which is perhaps more useful in the long run, is to make a selection and then Layer > Align Layers To Selection and select what alignment you want.

In PSP, if you copy/paste it as a selection....it allows you to move it anywhere you want. If you copy/paste as a new layer...it centers it. Not sure if PS is the same.
