Phil_rose Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi all, I have pasted some clouds into a selection (see screengrab) and I want to resize the pasted clouds but I can't find a way to do so as it just resizes the selection as well as the clouds when I use the Move tool. Can anyone help me work this out as I'm sure it must be possible? Thanks in advance! Quote I like turtles!

Wosven Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) If you paste the clouds, only the part of the clouds in the selected area will be modified AND the selection. You need to use Edition > Special copy… (it gives you different options), and selecting : Bitmap (screenshot below). And you'll have to apply a mask. With a shortcut it would be faster than the other way to do this : Create a mask with the selection, paste and resize the clouds (without selection) and apply the mask to the clouds. Same as the first (Edition > Special copy) : drag and drop the clouds image in your file : the new layer is an image, instead of the previous ones that were pixels. This way, you can select and resize the new image layer without modifing the selection. And you add a mask once your done modifying the clouds. Edited May 1, 2018 by Wosven Only 2 way to do this, not 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Have a look at this tutorial. As ever, there are lots of different ways of doing this sort of thing - putting "affinity photo sky replacement" into google returns more than 200K hits.

carl123 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This is one way.... Select > Deselect Resize the clouds to cover the image where you want them Select > Reselect Select > Invert Pixel Selection Hit the delete key ( or Edit > Cut ) I am assuming your clouds layer is a Raster Layer and not an Image layer (it it's an image layer you will need to rasterise it first) Phil_rose 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Phil_rose Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks, both. I will check these out. I was searching for Paste Into and, of course, that's the PS name for it.
