I use Photoshop CS2 on Win 2000. But I use only very basic stuff with PS. I have two pictures. I want to put picture A into picture B, having picture A occupying about one quadrant of picture B as background.
Having design a very active and fast video game based on multi-layers some 25 years ago (written in C), I thought that my task with such a powerful tool as PS is going to be a 3 minute breeze. I did the following:
1. I opened picture B (defaulted into background layer_0).
2. I created a new layer_1.
3. Opened picture A and copy & paste it into layer_1.
4. Now I THOUGHT that I am going to resize layer_1 to reduce it to the desirable size, move it to the desired placed and walla… I am done.
But this is where I hit a brick wall – I could not do anything about step 4.
Note: In step 3, there was a small problem of aspect ratio. The two pictures have slightly different aspect ratios and I didn’t see an option to preserve the aspect ratio of picture A while pasting it. I would expect of course that it should be provided. But as a temporary measure, I cropped slightly one picture to meet the other’s one.
Would anybody help in how to accomplish my elementary task by describing a step-by-step procedure?
Thanks in advance,
David
