Size

Hi - I`m new to Photoshop so apologies in advance if my question seems dumb.
I have two images open. A house and some sky. I want to put the sky behind the house in the same picture. Unfortunately, the picture of the sky is much smaller than the one of the house.
How do I adjust them to the same size? I`ve tried using the same dimensions of the house to the sky in the image-size option, but the result is crazy-far too big.
Thanks in advance,
David

Copy and paste the house layer into the sky file.

Select the move tool or push "v".

At the top tool options bar check the box that says "Show Bounding Box"

Make sure you have the house layer selected, hold shift, grab a corner and size to your desire.

If that's not what you're looking for, post the pictures so I can help a bit more.

Hi - Thanks for the response. That worked perfectly with the two photos that came with the tutorial, and it was much quicker and simpler.
When I imported another picture of the sky, it didn`t work at all. I changed the resolution so they were both 72, but it made no difference.
The imported picture was much smaller. Does this make a difference?
Cheers,
David

Hi - I think I`ve found part of the answer. It`s to do with the size. When I enlarge the new image, your technique (which works so much faster than the tutorial I`ve been following) works.
What I have to find out now is how to get both images to the same size.
Putting the same dimensions in the size box produces all sorts of strange results.

I would have been tempted to increase the size of the sky, rather than reduce the size of the house (or at least find a halfway point). It is rare that sky is so detailed that enlarging it ruins the quality, the hues of blues tend to react well to stretching and re-sizing. It will become obvious when you have enlarged it too much.

To address your last question, what resolution are the two photographs in? Same or different?

One was 72 and the other 90. I put them both at 72.
Anyway, I am making progress, thanks to you.
Many thanks,
David

Remember that the object is not to get the images to be the same size, it's to make the house look proportionate to the sky. If the image of the sky is a far out point of view, then the hous should be small, but if the sky is huge and up close/blown up, then the house should be large.
