How to Adding a picture to a PDF in Preview

Suppose you want to combine different images into a single image. This is something you can easily do in Photoshop or some other kind of graphic software. But lets say you just want to do it with what you have on your Mac by default like Preview app. So you can open up images in the Preview app pretty easily. You select images. Ill select four of them here. You can drag them into Preview of Im just going to double click to open them automatically in Preview since thats the default app for me. You can see Ive got four images now. Theyre in a sidebar. It doesnt matter if they open in a sidebar or in four separate windows. This works regardless. Unfortunately theres no way to start a new blank document in Preview. I really feel that this is something that Apple needs to add but until then its pretty easy to get around it. All I need to do is basically have something that you copy to the buffer and then you can create a new image from that. Now these images are almost all the same
