Suppose I want to create something with 3 pictueres on it. I create a
new document that will be my main working piece. Then I open up the 3
photographs on which I am working. I crop them all to be the same
size. Let's say 3x3. Now, when I drag or copy the images to the main
piece, they are too big for that canvas. Now, normally with one
photo, I would do a free transform with the shift key until it reached
the desired size. But how do you do it with more than 1 photograph
that all need to be the same size?

C,
you need to create a new canvas that is either three times the length or
breadth of one of your three identical images.
It also needs to be the same resolution as your 3 images (which also must be
the same resolution as each other)
You then open your new image, then each indivudual image in turn and drag
and drop the background layer of each image into the new document.
This will place each image in the new document on its own layer which you
can move around with the move tool(V) on the keyboard and the arrow keys.
Have a look for tutorials about Compositing and also layer masks.

C,
Just reread your post.
Using the tranform tool can degrade the image you are resizing, especially
if you reduce, commit and then perform another tranformation.
A better way would be to use "smart objects", (File>Place) this method puts
in a shortcut to the image allowing you to make as many size corrections you
need wthout degrading the image.
Make sure that all image resolutions are the same, that is why some of your
images are to big (higher resolution) for your new document.
