Photoshop Elements :: Keeping Photo Size When Dragging And Dropping Photo Into New Document
Nov 20, 2013
When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.
Elements 7 used to place my photos in a new document and there was very little resizing to do. now with elements 10 and 11, my photos are placed way larger than the document and i have alot of annoying resizing to do on every one. There must be a way to change this.
I have a photo with one person in it and I want to keep that person in it. However this picture was taken with other people in it and I want to take them out of it but the only thing that I can think of is cloning. Is there another way?
I inadvertently saved a document as a jpg and wondered if there is any way I can convert it to a document file that is handled more easily with a file that is other than a photo file?
I upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 12 this week and am confused about a change in behavior.
I create a large blank document (3600x3600 pixels, scrapbook size) and then drag other items onto it to create new layers.
In PSE10, the items I dragged in kept their original size. In PSE 12, they get resized to match the size of the document I'm dragging them on to.Is there a setting I need to change? Can't find it.
I am trying to drag and drop files out of one folder and put into a subfolder in the library module but it wont let me and I am wondering if there is a navigation menu that will allow me to do the same?
After cropping a photo to 4x6 it displays as 3.5 x 7 This makes the photo distorted. How do I fix the display to be accurate? People look shorter and fatter?
I cannot get this feature of 2013 to work for me. When I grab a selected item and drag it to the new drawing window, I get at round circle with a line through it or sometimes I get a command that says invalid.
I want to relocate my Lightroom 4 - Catalogue file and Catalogue previous files from my computer's hard disk to an external hard disk. Is this possible by simply dragging and dropping the relevant files to the new location?
When I'm looking at photos in my Library, I'd like to be able to sort them in terms of size.
A photo of 50 k is only of marginal interest for limited upload only. A photo of 15 mg is of great interest. The size tells me that it's at least moderately hi res and that there are probably a lot of pixels involved, and a good print can be made for publication or whatever. But I can't see a way to sort by image size. Is there a way? I'd like to separate a photo with a size of 720 X 480 from a photo with a size of 100 X 75.
Problem with a photo preview not showing when I size for a print. (e.g) All I get is a very,very small pinprick of a image? What do I do to get the correct preview window shown of image for the size I wish to print, and the photo is shown correct?
in elements 11 how can I extract a person from one photo and insert that person into another photo? I'm totally new to this and my software booklet doesn't say and I'm lost.
I would like to create a wallpaper in 2560x1440px. When I try to make a photo collage there are only 3 different sizes I can choose. How can I add a custom size?
After spending time in PS elements 11 making changes in color and applying frames etc. I noticed after saving the file my resolution went from 5.5Mb to 847kb. Why is this?
Can I get a sound effect to confirm the dragging and dropping of a file into a collection? I can see the file count increase but a confirmation sound would be very useful.
I did use the scissors and eraser tool to cutout unwanted background, and now I have an image I want to save and copy to another photo. The problem is that Elements 11 won't let me open up another photo at the same time, or let me copy the selected image to clipboard to paste on a different photo.
I have PSE 11 and I am creating a Christmas theme with various pictures. I have my main photo with 6 layers including a tree and figures which I can move independantly and the background is the checkerboard as the main layers are turned off with only my selections showing. I also have another photo where I have selected part of it and also turned off the main layers leaving a small part with checkered background. When I have the main photo loaded and drag the other one from the photo bin with the move tool, nothing appears on the main picture. I have already dragged the Christmas tree in the same way and that worked. By the way, all the files are .PSD.
