Photoshop CS3 - Template Resizing
I am having problems with resizing 12x12 templates(or other sizes) to a 8.5X11 size.
I was doing canvas size but it does not always seem to work - any suggestions? rdjr@fuse.net |

I'm not sure how you would go about this , because 12 x12 is a square and 8.5 x 11, so most ways you try to "resize" would skew it out of proportion. You could do 8.5 x 8.5 and then just add some borders, decorations, elements, title work, etc along the bottom?

You can either change the canvas size and then deal with the pieces that might end up outside the canvas afterwards.
Or you can make a new 8.5x11 document highlight all the layers in the 12x12 psd file, and then select your move tool, and hold down the shift key as you drag them from the 12x12 to the 8.5x11. It'll center everything on your 8.5x11. Then you just have to move stuff that's outside of it and or resize. Or, just scrap 12x12

Hi, No totally quick fix, but here is what I have done.
1) Create a new doc at 8.5x11. 2) Select the layers that you want from the 12 x 12 layout 3) drag them to the new doc and position as you like. Not a totally quick fix, but I have been able to use a lot of 12x12 templates and convert to 8.5x11 I hope this helps. PM me is you want to try it and you need help. Good luck-Robin |

I do it this way:
12x12 = 3600x3600 Px 8,5x11 = 3300x2550 Px now I change the size to 8,5x11 = 3600x2782 Px in this way you musst not resize. I scrap (digital) always in this size, because there was formerly no possibility to print out 12x12 and 8,5x11 is alike our DIN A4 |

I used to resize the template to 8.5x8.5, then increase the canvas size to 8.5x11 and move things so that they look right.
