I have a company logo, attached. Currently when I add it to my Facebook company page as the cover image it overlaps either side. Quite simply, I want to make it smaller, so it fits properly. Now I have managed to do this within AF, but I don't think I've done it right. I have also attached my "effort" in which I simply dragged the logo smaller, but still have the alpha area around it. When I cropped this out, the finished exported image was back to its full size. I know this is so basic that it probably isn't even worth someones time answering, but I'd appreciate a 'steer' in the right direction if someone feels generous!! Many thanks Andy My attempt at making it smaller.afphoto

That's terrific 'firstdefence' just what I was looking for. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, it is really appreciated.

Thanks for the explanation gdenby. I'm picking this up gradually. Not boing in this professional area, I only use the application when doing some in-house work for brochures or the website etc. I'm sure if I was using it daily, it would become second nature. But thanks for taking the time to explain how the rasterizing process works.

Thanks. I saw a video of it being done on an iPad, where the guy drew a grid with the line tool and then 'rasterised' it (I think, whatever that does)!! Then somehow applied it as a mask, and was able to edit the individual boxes, apply effects etc.... How would I do this in Photo?

Sorry, I'm a newbie to AP but picking it up slowly. I want to apply 'grid' effect to an image. So literally, as if I was looking through an old fashioned window with lots of smaller panes of glass. I'm guessing it's done using masks, but I can't find any tutorials, and I've floundered about a bit myself without much success!!
