Owen,
Open both images and then copy/paste one into the other. When you paste it creates a layer.

You can also use the move tool to drag a layer from one doc to another. Hold down shift while dragging to center the layer. I prefer this method only because you don't have to use extra ram storing info on the clipboard.

Darn, one I can do...and I'm here last.

1. Select All in image 1.
2. Copy.
3. Activate image 2.
4. Paste.

Dragging is quicker, but sometimes I can't get out of the ol' copy/paste habit. Done with keystrokes, it is pretty quick: CTRL+A, CTRL+C, click image 2, CTRL+V.

Brand new user, excuse my stupidity.

I performed above steps and it worked. Now, how do I reduce the size of the image in the upper layer so the lower layer is partly exposed? Thanks.

Cliff, select the layer in the layers palette so that's it's highlighted...use the 'move' tool and either click on the outer edge of the box...toolbar will pop up above...click on chain icon to keep the proportions and drag the image from the corner inward to make smaller or use the move tool and hold down 'shift' key while dragging down to keep proportions. Can also move it around from center point at any time.
