Okay, so I'm completely new to Photoshop so this will probably be an easy question to answer.

I've created a layer that is 550*980. I have a bunch of images that I want to open up and chuck on this layer, then save them individuality so they have these dimensions.

I've worked it all out up to actually changing the dimensions on the images once they're on the 550*980 background and everything I Google about it just comes up with how to change the size of the image i.e. making it go from 5mb to 2mb.

Can anyone tell me a quick way to just scale the pictures down so I can move them into position, change the size and then save?

Hi Shifty. There is no quick and simple way that I know of to do this, but it can be done. Just do this with each image: Select the image (if you are using a tool that won't let you select an object, just hit the V key so you can cursor-select) > Go to your layers window and find the selected layer > hit CTR+D to extinguish any existing marquee selection, then CTR+L-Click on the image thumbnail of the selected layer, now the layer should have a marquee of marching ants around it > Hit CTRL+C to copy > CTRL+N to open a new file, the new file dimensions will be the same as your selected image > CTRL+V. Now you will just need to do this over and over for each image.
