Was able to get around that problem by adding the image last, but I still have an issue.
I am creating a 250 x 250 px image, but the image I'm importing to the new layer, which I'm going to resize down to about 50 x 50, is a 300 x 250 image. Basically I want to put a small version of that 300 x 250 image into the new 250 x 250 image I'm creating. But when I import the 300 x 250 image as a layer, it resizes my whole (image? file? document?) work area to be 300 x 250.
How can I avoid this?
thanks in advance for any help.
