thebiggfella Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hello. I'm presently trying to put together a seven day food diary into one image. Each day is currently one scanned image of the diary so I presently seven in all. Each image is nicely cropped and re-sized, being 1000 wide by around 1440 in height. I plan to place the heading (Food Diary: 17th March 2010 - 23rd March 2010), sub-headings (Day 1, Day 2 etc) and images onto separate layers so that I can move each layer about so that everything is just right. Simple in theory, something which I've done numerous times before but not on such a large scale. Taking into account some space for the heading, sub-headings plus the seven images, I calculated the canvas size to be 1000 x 10199. I then generated a blank canvas of this size which was shown on screen at 6% of it's actual size. As you can imagine, it's just a long thin white line. So for a better view, I zoomed in to around 66%, and entered the heading and first sub-heading onto separate layers with no problems. But when I tried to enter the first image (Layers > Import From File) on another layer, nothing appeared on the canvas though the layer showed on in the 'layers' window. However, if I zoomed out to 6% again so that the entire canvas was shown, the image was there at the top of the canvas but way to small to do anything with, never mind read. Basically, I need the images to be big enough so that I can correctly align them, but I can't do this as the image on the canvas is not show unless the whole canvas is in the screen, then it's too small. I would be grateful if someone could point out where I'm going wrong here. Sorry for the longwindedness, but I thought it best to try to fully explain what I was trying to do and the problem that I was having. Thanks. Glynn.

Sarkut Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 thebiggfella, Zoom out to 66% and scroll up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggfella Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks Sarkut. I feel like such an idiot now! :oops: I thought it would be something simple, but not quite that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I suppose that I could feel very superior if I failed to remember all of the times in the past I've been puzzled by problems that were only too obvious once pointed out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
