Help with Boris graffiti please

Post by Keithchr »

Hi - I am struggling to emulate this Gripps tutorial which shows how to give depth of field using Boris Graffiti:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsQUhhB2U8c

The part I am attempting to do starts at 04:36.

At 05:14 he brings in another copy of the original image and here is where my problems start...
The 2nd image I bring in is an identical copy and is displayed in the same size - but only the middle of the photo is visible.
At 05:29 you can see some resize handles appear around the photo - but I do not have these and have spent a lot of time trying to make them
show so that I can resize the photo to match the original one underneath it.
I know I can resize the photo using the position controls X&Y but it is very hard to get it the exact same size.
So my 2 questions are:
1) How to I make the photo resize handles appear in the composite window?
2) Why, when I import a photo which is an exact copy of the original does it appear to be zoomed in and needs resizing at all?

PS. I did notice that he is using Boris 5.4 and I have 6.1

Grateful for any advice please.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
