1. Open a graphic and
choose a 200 X 200 pixel selection from it that has the colors
you want. Go to Edit>Copy, Edit>Paste>As New Image. (In Photoshop, go to Edit>Copy; File>New [it will open at the size of what's in the clipboard], Edit>Paste) (In Photoshop Elements, go to Select>All; Edit>Copy; File>New>Image from Clipboard) Or if you like, you can just resize your picture to 200 X 200, aspect ration unchecked. You can close the original picture now. |
