Help with Creating an Image

Post by hillybeans01 »

I have a slightly older version of PhotoImpact Pro and have looked online for a tutorial or template to create 'BottleCap Images' but can only find them for other photo programs. I simply need to know how to make an image that will fit inside a 1 inch circle. I figured out how to change my margins to make a 1 inch square, but that's as far as I can get. I don't know how to insert an image into it. Help from anyone would be great!

Hi hillybeans01

Welcome to the forums

sorry for the delay in replying to your post........

Not sure I fully understand what you are trying to do.

Open both images.

For the circle........
Find the size or resize option, (maybe CTRL+G) the original dimensions should show in the top panel "active image" in Pixels.. Make a note of them.
Do the same for your image but this time re-size to the first image, (new image size) maybe slightly smaller. reduce the size by 10%.

Drag the second over the first image and reposition.

You could also draw a selection the size of the top and then copy/paste the image into the selection. This way you will get an exact size.
