Hey everyone, welcome to The Photoshop Training Channel.
My name is Jesus Ramirez and you can find me on Instagram @JRfromPTC.
In this Photoshop tutorial I'm going to show you two methods that you probably don’t
know to match document sizes.
We’re going to use a method that uses the Image Size and Canvas Size window, and the
second method uses a Crop Tool.
Don’t forget to tell me in the comments down below if you knew these methods already.
Okay, let’s get started.
So we’re going to work with two documents.
I have this document here and it’s a PSD called large.
And this document here is a PSD called small.
This document is 1280x720.
And this one here is 1920x1080.
To make a document the same size as another open document, go to the Image size or Canvas
size dialogue boxes.
So go into Image + Canvas Size, with the Canvas size window open, go into Window, and at the
very button of the drop down, you will see the filenames of your currently open documents.
I have two psd’s, large.psd and small.psd.
Notice what happens when I select small.psd.
The Width and Height will match this document, 1280x720.
The same thing will happen if I go into Image + Image Size, with the Image Size window open,
I’m going to go into Window and also select small and you’ll see that the Width and
Height will change to match the small.psd.
I can press OK and the image will be resized to match the size of the other open document.
In the second method, I’m going to show you how to use a Crop Tools Front Image feature
so that you can take the dimensions of one image and crop a second image to those same
dimensions.
And let me show you how it works.
I’m going to go into this image and first, I just want to make a selection so that you
can see that this image is 1800 pixels wide x 582 pixels tall.
Then I’m going to go into a Crop Tool.
And from this drop down, on the Options bar, going to select Front Image.
Then, I’m going to go into my first image and notice that the crop tool is active and
it has the dimensions of the previous image up here in the Options bar.
So if I adjust the crop and hit Enter / Return on the Mac, I’m going to crop the image
into those dimensions.
If I make a selection, you’ll see that that image is 1800 x 582 pixels.
So no matter what I crop it will always be that size.
I’m going to undo that crop.
I’m going to select the Crop Tool again and the Front Image is still active, we can
see the dimensions up here.
And I’m just going to make a really small crop, and you’ll see that the dimensions
are about 300 pixels.
But when I hit Enter / Return on the Mac to commit the changes, Photoshop enlarges that
crop to 1800 x 582 pixels.
So no matter what we crop, it will always be the same size as the Front Image that we
set.
And, again, let me know if these methods were new to you.
