What part of "Assuming that both images are 3008 x 2000" don’t you guys understand?… 😉
If you’ll note, I’m the one with the two 3008 x 200 images, *and* the one that commented on the technique to get two images to the same size.
That’s called "thread drift" where there’s a comment or question, the comment or question is dealt with, and the thread continues with a discussion of related point or tips.
We don’t always have the same circumstances to deal with, so expanding the discussion benefits more than the OP.
That’s a good thing, Johan. It’s a sharing of tips and techniques.
OK, point taken. It’s just that in this thread it seemed that nobody was really reading (or understanding) what it was you asked.
Actually, the whole thing is pretty similar to our very own lives. It can be very simple or complex depending on how we deal, look at it. Same with the question.
– If one knows exactly what to ask then one may already know the answer
– One can only be able to ask what s/he can understand.
– If we only know one answer then it won’t be hard to give the answer to the question we only know one answer. But if we know more than one then we may have to ask ourselves exactly which one if the right answer to give.
That’s why I almost never try to correct anyone with any answer, and I won’t mind to challenge anyone who try to correct me. Because I think if someone can correct me then I guess s/he may have the right answer, or a better answer that I can learn for my own benefit.
And I learn Photoshop pretty much the same way I live my life. Before I retired I was a martial arts instructor which I have to learn life/death can be within a split-second decision, before become a instructor I have to listen and learn very carefully from my instructors, and not all instructors have the same opinion, technique, style etc.. So same with Photoshop, I learn to study the image before making any decision, and because with so many decades with the same bad habit I often look beyond the question. example
– 2 100% idential is very rare.
– If 2 photos are 100% identical then we wouldn’t have to try to figure out which is the better one
– if they are not 100% identical then they may show more/less difference(s) and THIS is my main goal. How to deal with the difference
– Then instead of trying to find the hardest technique to deal with a simple problem, I always try to use the simplest technique. And nothing easier than the one we know best, and that’s why I often suggest, encourage other to MASTER some very basic commands and learn to adapt the same technique on different problems.
Example, someone may ask something like
– How to remove a LINE. And the answer is either Clone, Mask, Heal Brush/Patch, Paste, Paint Brush etc..
– How to remove a SCAR. Then the answer is pretty much similar to how to remove the LINE. Except if the scar is on the face then we just need to be more careful.
– How to remove a HAIR on the face. Then it’s pretty much similar to how to remove the LINE, SCAR
– How to remove the FLARE. Samething.
– How to remove BACKGROUND. No different
The only difference that one already MASTERED some commands to know exactly what to do, and the one who tries find a way to cheat. And believe it or not, even I know lot of dirty tricks, but the command I use the most isn’t very fancy but the BRUSH STROKE, one hand scratching the tablet like having real bad itching, while other hand sending the Keyboard commands.
And after hundreds of thousands of photos I often do without questioning what to do next.
