I’m having a problem with a very basic Photoshop concept and thought maybe someone could help me out.
I’ve scanned a small piece of artwork (about 6" square). I’d like to be able to make print 6 copies of it on one sheet of 11" x 17" paper. I thought I could reduce the image size slightly, and either tile the image on a larger image or paste duplicate copies onto a large canvas. I tried creating a new empty image with a size of 11"x17", then resized the artwork image and copied-and-pasted the new image onto the large empty canvas. However, the copy was about twice as large as the original.
I’m confused about the difference between image size and canvas size. Also, when I view the scanned image at what seems to be its actual size (based on the ruler in the image’s window), the title bar shows that it’s displayed at 15%. Why is the scanned image so large?
Feel free to point me to sections in Photoshop help, if this is covered in the docs.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
