I'm new in photoshop so I'm having some troubles with image sizes. Here is the thing: I have an image of a wall and another one of a wolf, so I want to cut the wolf off the first image and put it on the wall of the second image. So far so good, but the images sizes are totally different and I have to make adjustments. The wall image is at 1536x2048 and 71 dpi; the wolf image is at 900x675 and 180 dpi. If I zoom out the wall image to 33% and let the wolf one at 100% I get the result I want, but when I drag the wolf and drop on the wall image the zoom is automatically set to 33% and the wolf become too small. I want to keep the zoom of the wolf and put it's image on the layer above the wall layer. How can I do that? I don't want photoshop to zoom in/out anything. If that isn't possible, how do I adjust he sizes without losing quality? |

Zooming doesn't change the resolution, just the display. First get your images the same resolution by going:
1) go to image>image size
2) unclick the 'resample image' (so you're not actually changing the number of pixels)
3) change the resolution of one to match the other (i.e either change wall to 180dpi or change wolf to 71dpi).
The one you change will look bigger/smaller, but at least they'll match each other so you can drag selections.
Note that if you did click the 'resample image' box, then it would actually change pixels in the the file and affect the quality. If you leave it unclicked it merely expands/contracts the pixels which are there. |

hi,
actually the 2 image sizes are not that much different.... now a couple of ways to do this beside renata suggestion...
1. click and drage the horse to the main file and then go to the corner and do a
shift+ click and drag,,, the reason for the "shift" is to maintain aspect ratio,
and enlarge to fit the perspective size you want.... i don't think you will see much a change as far as details or quality .... your only enlarging about mayb 10-20% at most...
however if it is noticeable change in quality and it unsatifactory the you can go back to the orginal image and resize it in 10% increments untill reach the required size ...... this is called the 10% rule this generally give fairly good results... and then do your click and drag ... to other file..
I should add... now if there a tonal qualitydifference.. and your trying to make it look "natural" you'll just have to do mode editing ... size woun't be the answer... |
