Post Copying files with transparent backgrounds into another proj
When I take a file I have cropped with a transparent background and copy it onto another picture, if I downsize it too much I loose the image. Are there limits on how much I can reduce a given image? and if so what are the governing factors? I started with a jpg file, cropped it and saved it as a png file, to take advantage of the transparent background, but when I copied it onto the background image, if I make it too small it looks like I am looking at the image through a screen or it doesn't project at all.
Appreciate any help.

What do you mean by "downsize it"?

What I mean by downsizing is to make the image physically smaller in dimension (ie 3x5 to 2x1). On an 8 by 11 sheet I may have about 8 images that I have cropped & over-layed on a background image to make a composite image or collage. Then once the image has been placed on the background and saved as a jpg or png file can it be "ungrouped" and/or moved?
Thanks,
Sark

No it can not be "ungrouped" and/or moved, this is due the limitation of the jpg and png file formats. To assure you'' always have full control keep a master copy of the project in photo pos pro (*.fpos) file.
