 Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 11:31 pm Post subject: resizing selection of image |
 |
|
Hello All,
I am very new at this. Basically what I want to do is make a part of my image in the middle smaller without altering the rest of the image. I have tried to do this by selecting the part of the image I want to resize, and then changing the size of it.
The problem is that when I do this, I am left with all this white space in the area where the now smaller image no longer covers (I hope this makes sense). What I want is for the image surrounding my selection to "follow it" so to speak, and cover in where there is now white space.
Does anyone have any ideas? This seems like it should be pretty simple.
P.S. Sorry if this is a duplicate forum, I tried searching and couldn't find anything. |

could you post the picture you're trying to do this with so we can see if there is a way?
in all honesty this is something that is near impossible to accomplish without seeing your image

Thanks for the reply,
Since I'm at work can't post a picture yet, but I can explain more clearly what I want.
I have a map, and I would like to rescale a part of it and make it smaller while leaving the rest as it is. The problem is that when I do this through the resize tool, it leaves blank space.
I'll post a picture later to show more specifically what I mean. |

hi,
like previous mention always best to give us a image to look at..
now i think this might work for you...
1. select the area you want.
2. the then put that selection on a seperate layer..
3. if copied object is not still selected you may need to reselect it and then you can use your transform tool to change the size to your liking..!
