Copying a shape to an Exact size in PSE

Question

I'm trying to place photos within a film strip and make each one an exact size to fit. I was told to select the first photo, then hit inverse and select the second photo and hit delete. Instead of it making it the exact size it removes the photo ( second one) from the film strip. Why is that happening??

Answer 1

Hi Terri,
With the filmstrip image open,
open the images of the people you wish to add,
Cascade so you can see all the images, or minimize them,
then,
Select the first person, what you do next depends on if you want the
person on a transparent background or if you want to include the
original background,
if you want the background,
using the Rectangular Marquee Tool select the area of the image you
want & Edit, Copy, make the filmstrip image active & Edit Paste.
Repeat for each person;
Each person will be on their own Layer of the filmstrip image so you
can shrink or stretch them to fit. It will be easier to get the look
of the people being on the filmstrip if you move the Background image
to the top of the Layer stack.

Because you need to Select, Inverse, Delete for each image before
selecting the next image.
