File > Place Embeded ( select the image which you want on the current image )

than re-scale according to your requirement.

If you drag-n-drop from memory it opens a new edit window for the new image. Save that as a "mark-up" then shrink both windows so you can drag-n-drop from one frame to the other. PS needs to have both work areas in the same format, hope I have recalled that correctly as I have not used PS since I bought Sony Vegas.

 

Hope this helps

Someone once gave me a tip to open the image in a new canvas, than in your original canvas you can press some button to import a layer from another canvas and it would import just fine without some 'smart object' thing that you would otherwise have.

A new canvas, that's the term not edit window (same thing though) it still needs to be a *.psd to be able to import onto the work area. That's one of the reasons to have a scratch disc when you edit images or for that matter videos.

I'm not a Photoshop user, so I don't know all the tricks and terminology  I just remembered someone giving me this tip when I asked him how to import a picture to a Photoshop canvas or whatever.

 there is an import button in files or just go file open and then drag it to another work space.

 

also im pretty sure copy and past will work
