I'm trying to crop this picture and paste it into this template: it's a .psd file

However, I've had no luck getting the image between the black bars and having the head at a decent size. If anyone knows how to do this, how long would it take and can I pay you do to this one and two more?

Or does someone want to tell me an easy way to do it?

goto image then image resize. Make the template image larger and the picture smaller. Be sure to constarint porportions and have the pics meet somewhere in the middle

Use the rectangular marque tool (set to a fixed aspect ratio of 60 pix wide by 93 pix tall - the size of the space inside your black frame) to crop your photo of bruce pittman (so when you put it in it looks like this).

If you'd like me to, I can do it for you, just PM me.

It's possible that some of your other uncropped photos will need to be resized before cropping (if 60x93 wouldn't encompass enough of the head). You can always check by floating the marque over your pic and resizing (or undoing the changed image sizes). The one you had for Bruce Pittman was already the right size - no resizing necessary.

You *can* get paid for something that does happen to be really easy to do, but that doesn't mean that you *will*. ;)

you want to enlarge that template image also right? Don't fret photoshop has a little bit of a learning curve but it's pretty intuitive once you learn where the tools are kept. Compared to lightwave photoshop is gravy.

Well, no offense, but you didn't do it correctly anyway. You didn't crop out the head like in all the other sets nor was it in black and white.

Same with the guy who PM'd me. I could have done what you guys did.

Well, your directions sucked.

You mention cropping, resizing, and pasting, but never said anything about making it black and white or anything.
