Yes, I tried that but after extending the canvas you get the chequerboard area in the 'spare' bit and when you paste and move the second image in it disappears behind the chequerboard - so I am on the right lines but doing something wrong.
Once you've increased your canvas size, you need to select "Image/Flatten Image" in order to drop the first image (which has now become a layer) on to the canvas. In doing so, you should see the "spare" background change from chequerboard to your default bg colour (normally white). The whole image then becomes available to paste your copied image2 in to.
Yes. As above or as an alternative, work with two layers and when you have positioned it right, flatten and save. Ctrl-L I believe for layer dialog. (You can see both layers at the same time if you like)
