I have imported a cropped image to be merged with another into Photoshop CS3.

I have used the help function and it leads me to a greyed out scale effects tab.

I am not wanting to add any scale effects to the image.

I am trying to scale the image down to be fit into the background image. How do i do this?

Drag the frame of the "background image" out so it’s big enough for the image to be merged.

Using the Move Tool, drag the second image into the frame of the "background image".

Press Ctrl+T to get a transform box.

Drag the corners to the required size, holding the Shift key to maintain proportions.

Move the transformed image to where you want it using the Move Tool. (You can also drag it around before committing the transform.)

If you use the place command to put your large image into the smaller one, you can set it in the preferences to automatically resize during the place procedure.
