Question
Hello,
I'm an archaeologist and need to take various artifact images from multiple scanned and photographed files and make them into a few decent images for reports.  Would you please tell me how to do this so that each artifact will be to the same scale automatically when i put them in the final image?  (There are too many to shrink or enlarge each manually.)  It's so easy to do in DesignCad, with the "U" unit scale measurement, but I'm utterly defeated in Photoshop.  (I'm much better with a trowel than a computer!) Thank you so much.
Best Wishes,
Rita

Answer
Hi Rita,

The easiest way of scaling automatically the image when you put them in the final image would be opening the images at a stateted window. Open the images in photoshop, then select new under the file menu, and select the size you would like the picture to be. scale these in that window and crop the image.

There is no other way or automatic way of achieving this, sorry.

Regards,
Dyllian
