Question

How do I make 2 images a side-by-side split image in PhotoShop CS6?

Solution

Go to the image menu and edit the Canvas size (not the image size). You will see a grid of boxes 3x3, choose the center left or center right box, uncheck "relative" and set the width to 200%, leave the height at 100%.

Paste the second image as a layer and move to suit.

Double the width and paste the 2nd image in.

there is no magic option that will do this for you, you have to do it yourself. wutnaut is correct

Thank you for the elaboration @horatio. If I had Photoshop in front of me, I would have included more detail.
