Hello. I have 64 100×215 pixel images which I need to paste into a 800×1720 pixel 8×8 gridded image. I have created the grid fine using guides and I have selected ‘Snap to guides’ however I have come into a problem.
The 64 images that I am copying and pasting into the grid contain mainly alpha information. i.e. there is a lot of nothing in them especially around the edges.
When I do ‘select all’ on the sources image I see a dashed black line around the rectangular edge of the image as I would expect, but when I then copy and paste this into the larger image I cannot get the image to snap properly.
For some reason Photoshop is making the Bounding Box of the pasted layer just outside the non-transparent area in the source selection instead of being the whole 100×215 area.
Can anybody tell me how I can paste a selection which contains alpha at the borders into another image whilst retaining the full boundary of the original selection?
Kind regards,
Mark Coleman
