[Solved] How resize a layer inside an image


jpaul

Recommended Posts

Hello, here's my problem. I simply want to create a texture. thus it must have a particular size (512², 1024x512, etc..). in my case 512x512. so i created my image (512x512), then i created a layer. but my image being a photography it's like in most cases or bigger, or smaller, in my case 4032x3024. so i need to resize this. but for some reason i can't manage to achieve this. a little thing i've done hundreds of times easily in Gimp. so i love Paint.net, it's a great tool. but my question is simple, how do i make my imported 4032x3024 texture fit into my 512x512 image

When you try to paste in the image, do you get a message saying that it's larger than your current image? If so, click on "keep image size" and then you can squeeze your texture down to fit.

If using LionsDragon's method, holding down shift while resizing may help to maintain aspect ratio.

 

Or... Open the 4032*3024 image, go to Image/resize and reduce it to 512px and save with a different name. You can then select all and easily paste into another 512px image.

This is the way I'd do it. +1 Red ;)

yep, this is what i was actually looking for. what i haven't got, it's that it doesn't work with drag & drop. if you want this to work, you need to copy paste

the other solution may probably work as well

so, thank you ☺️
