[Aligning 2 photos (as you can on Instagram Layout) for a book cover]

I followed  the above steps.  The 2 images don't appear on the screen, just in the dialogue box at the right. .  I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks. I'm a little new to this. Could you go through this step by step. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, but I've already seen this video.  What I need to do is to take 2 photos and put them side by side seamlessly. (In the Ritson video, unless I'm mistaken, the images end up being separated by white spacing.)

 I've attached a photo that I posted on Instagram to visually explain what I'm trying to do on Affinity Photo.

Hi,

I have 2 black and white vintage photographs that I want to use for a 6"x9" book cover. Now imagine that you had these 2 photos in your hand and you slid one photo under the other until you found the desired balance between the 2 for the book cover. You can do this easily on Instagram in Photo Layout in a vertical or horizontal layout of choice when creating a post.  (I wish it were as easily done on Affinity). 

And I just went through a whole mess of complicated videos at the Affinity Vimeo site and couldn't find anything to help me.  If yall can  easily explain how to do what I mentioned in the first paragraph, I'd surely appreciate it.
