HI: I have CS4 and CS5 and neither of them let me open two images side by side so I can cut and paste frames and so on to one of them. My old CS2 allowed this, but it no longer works with Win7 64 bit and Adobe does not support CS2 anymore. CAn someone point me to a tut? Thanks, Sherrie

have you tried dragging the images in from an explorer window?

I have CS 4 and 5, and they allow me to open images side by side.

The default has changed - images now open in tabs that take up the whole workspace - but you can change that and go back to the old way.

Try right-clicking on the image tab, and choose "move to new window."

I believe there's a way to change the settings so it defaults to new windows for each document, but I kinda got to like the tab setup, so I didn't do it.

I will try that move to new window trick. Thanks

Here's how you change it so it defaults to floating windows:

  1. Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Interface (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Interface (Windows).
  2. Deselect Open Documents as Tabs.
  3.  Deselect Enable Floating Document Window Docking.
  4.  Click OK.

In Photoshop CS5 at the top just left of center, there is a "drop down" box to select window arrangement (like your modeling programs):
