Picture Problem

[twilightsky]

When i try and put a picture on the background it turns out small. I have two windows, one with the picture and one with the background. When i drag the image from the window to the other it goes small, way smaller than the window with the proper picture. Could anyone tell me now to get the picture big when placing it on the background?

Trying to make the foreground bigger is not going to work well no matter what you try. It would involve adding pixels to the image, which is going to make it look blurry and bad.

The goal here should be to make the background smaller. Pixels can be removed from an image without destroying it, but not added.

Open the foreground image. Then highlight the zoom (magnifying glass) tool, and click on the button at the top of the menu that says "actual pixels". The view percentage at the top of the screen should now be 100%. Go to Image> Image size, and under "pixel dimensions" note the height of the image, given in pixels. Hit cancel to close the dialog box.

Now do the same with the background image. See how much larger the background image gets when you click the "actual pixels" button? Thats why the foreground image looks so small. Go to Image> Image Size and check the "resample image" box. Now type in the height of the foreground image into the height box, and click OK. This should reduce the size of the background image so that it's the same relative size as the foreground image.

I hope that makes sense, and hope it helps.

um, also i would like to have the cloud effect thing, i do filter>render>clouds and i want it to come up like this



but it comes out like all scrambled clouds and completely different to what the other picture had. so could anyone tell me how to get that cloud effect?


and no, it didnt help, when i put in the height numbers to the other box it changes the width, and when i try and change the width, it changes the height. when i try to save it, it saves the whole image, not the zoomed in part.
