Hello all,

I'm learning to use photoshop and could really use some help! I need to cut and paste an image from one photoshop doc to another. This I can do just fine, but when I do, it resizes the image I pasted and makes it smaller. Since I'm wokring with scans that need to retain their exact size, this is not good.

Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing woring?

-Also, the piece of the doc I'm cutting from is a little bit bigger than the 8..5 x 11 letter size doc I'm pasting into.

Thanks so much for your input!

Anna

You're not obeying resolution (DPI). Maker sure it's consistent across documents.

To avoid confusion, make sure that both of your documents are with the same zoom level. The zoom level is always displayed on the title bar of your document after the file name and also at the bottom left of the document window where you can type the same zoom for both documents. Then there will be no surprises when you copy paste between the two.
