First be sure you have the correct layer selected, then push ctrl-x Go to your other image and push ctrl-v Then you'll see a floating layer in your layer dialog. Select that layer and select "new layer", or I think you can also mouse around in your image and move the layer, then move your cursor off the layer and your mouse cursor will change to an anchor. Then press your mouse button. I hope I explained that ok. Let me know if that helps or not.
