Ok I am resizeing some digital pics of my son and trying to place them in one file to print. I resize the images and the copy and paste them to the other document and the pictures are not the same size. ie. I am sizing them down to 0.687"wide by 0.562" high. Once copy and paste them four picture fit in a 0.687" wide by 0.562" high square. How can I keep them from resizeing

Do you use Image/Image size for resizing?

yes I am using image/image resize. That is the only way I know to change the size of a picture to a specific size.

right four can't fit in the same size box that is the same size as the picture. Thats the problem once I resize it and move the picture to the other file the pictures are smaller than what I resized it to.

Uhm.. do you use % for resizing? Because when you want a 4th of an image don't put in 25%, but 50%. Only then will you have a fourth of your image..

ok I am trying to print several photos that are 0.687" wide by 0.562" high. Then I am trying to take those photos and paste them into a image that is 4" by 6" so that I can print several photos on a 4"x6" photo paper but when I move them to the 4x6 image the picture I am trying to move is a fourth of a size smaller than what I originally made it. What I need to know is why when I copy and paste does the image resize.

Make sure both of the documents are the same resolution.

Image -> Image Size -> Resolution

It sounds like you're pasting a 72dpi picture into a 300dpi document.
