Answer 1

1. You can use the cropping tool it looks like a strange diamond with 4 tails on it (or an accordian fence). You would draw with the tool around the picture area you want to keep and then hit return key, it'll get rid of the area outside the box.

2. You can do this. Go under "Image" in the menu bar, down to "canvas size". Here you can size the Canvas by typing in a measurement. If you make it smaller it will crop off the area left, right or up or down depending where you place the white box sitting in there. If you make the numbers larger than they are it will add white space around the picture.

3. If you want to just resize the picture. Go under "Image" again and go down to "Image Size". Here you can resize the photo to what ever size you want it. If you make the numbers larger the picture will enlarge. If you put in smaller numbers the picture will reduce in size.

If you want the picture a specific size.

Make the picture the right dimension in the smaller direction and then crop the canvas on the other side to make it the right size.

ie) the original picture is 2.45w x 2.3h (you want it to be 2.5 x 2.5) Here's what you do.

You go under "Image" to "Image Size". Change the height value to 2.5 (the width value changes to 2.657).

Now go under "Image" to "Canvas Size". Change the Width value to 2.5 and then click return. Voila now the picture is the correct size.

Note: make sure you scan picts in at a large enough dpi so that when you are resizing this way you don't make the quality of it decrease.

Oh.. I didn't know you wanted to stretch it.

If you want to make one side unproportionate. You go under image size and click on the chain link to turn off the constaining feature. Then type in whatever dimension you want it will stretch it.

Answer 2

Select the image,then Free Transform it..or click ctrl+t..then you can resize your photo now

Answer 3

find the highest resolution version of that image you can, put it in a new layer, strech it to the size you want and then press enter, put that layer behind the layer you are working with.

Answer 4

with photo shop, you can apply each image on layers, open background image, then open your cutout, then copy yours and then paste it over back image, then you can resize layers them selves, move. adjust colors, etc.,
