I’m embarassed to even ask this one

I have a 1×3 inch graphic in jpg format.

I want to place it into a larger image and be able to move it around, place it, and add text to make a logo.

I can’t see any command that will let me do this.

I tried selecting and copying and pasting the image, but when I put the 1×3 inch image onto a 4×6 inch image, it makes it very tiny and there’s nothing to select to enlarge it.

I’m a Photoshop beginner. I’m on a friend’s computer with Photoshop 7.
I want to do something very simple. At least it should be.

Placing seems like it would be a choice, but jpg’s aren’t a choice. Importing seems to only deal with devices.

I have a book called photoshop at your fingertips 7 that has hundreds of pages of tasks, but nothing on how to add a bitmap image.
HELP!!!!!!

Thanks, Doug

The reason for the size difference is that the two documents have different resolutions. It wouldn’t matter what method you use to put one into the other.

There are several ways to do what you want, but Copy/Paste and then using Transform to resize is probably your best bet. But what is the final use of the file? That makes a big difference.

Ultimately I want to turn this into a sew-on patch for a shirt.
