Help with PSP 8.0 Merged Images 1

[SPooKY2]

Having recently switched School Programs from Adobe PD 2.0 to PSP 8.0. , I find that I am unable to teach my kids how to work with merged images. We can merge them with the Copy and Paste, but then the only 2 things that seem to work are the eraser and the Move tool. How do you re-size the merged image (Layer 2). When you use the re-size, it only re-sizes the main picture (Layer 1).

Help if you can, the directions are too complicated and I would just like a clear answer as to how to work with layers.

Thanks so much......Greg

You need to paste the merged image as a new layer. Usually Cntrl+L does the trick, or right click and Paste as new layer. Once that is done there is a tool under the mouse pointer tool on the toolbar that looks like a rectangle with points around it. Click on that and the layer should select itself. You can then move it deform it etc....

Have the layer you want to resize selected. Go to Image/Resize unclick the resize all layers box, set the size you want the layer sized to and click OK. I also use bicubic sample instead of smart size or any of the others as I often don't have to sharpen it which just saves a step.

Say you want to merge image A with image B to make image C.
Select A or a portion of it. Copy the selection. Duplicate B, delete the original A and B images on the screen. This so you don't accideltly change the original A and B.

Make the duplicate image B active. Paste as new layer. This will paste the copied image as a layer on the duplicate image B.

Move the new layer around on B if you need to using the move tool. Merge layers (flatten it). Save this flattened image as image C.

Now you can do all edits to image C.
