Here is an example of how I would approach this in CS5, so I’m not sure if this will work in PS7.
Let’s start with 2 example images;
Image A: 1280x960 pixels and,
Image B: 800x600 pixels.
Let’s assume that my Background image is A and I want to Copy & Paste the smaller image B into the larger image A.
When I paste B into A, then B will be Layer 1 and A will be the Background Layer.
Select Layer 1, the smaller image B. <Right Click> it’s Layer and choose “Select Pixels” from the fly out Menu and you should see the “marching ants” around the smaller image. This indicates that only those Pixels on that Layer are selected.
I then select “Edit” in the Menu Bar and choose “Transform” then “Scale” from the drop down Menu and you can then manually scale just the smaller image to make it the same size as the Background (larger) image A.
Hope that makes sense!
Cheers
Dennis
