go to image, the select image size, a windo will open for hight and width, and there you go.

If you select constain proportions in that window then if you change one demention then the other side will change automatically to match.

hope that helps.

just to let you know, i dont know what sive your gauges need to be, i just know how to change the size.

be sure to post pics after you get them in.

Ok Thats easy do this


>File open both the pix (you car and the gauges)

>use the lasso tool to outline the gauge (you can press L to get this tool also) (holding down shift while you outline is good, it just adds what you outline so that you dont delete the other outlines)

>Once you have the gauge outlined Hold ctrl and press c (this will copy the pic)

>now go to the pic of your car, hold ctrl and press V (this will paste the pic of the gauge that you outlined)

>Dont worry it still might be too big, out of shape or what ever but you will have to transform it so you might be able to use the arrow tool or the marque tool. I dont think I spelled that right but the Key M should get you there.

>now right click the gauge and pick transform. This will place 4 squares around the pic. Drag these around to resize the gauge.

>use the arror to drag the transformed gauge into place.

>go to file save, save in BFE... J\k hehe Save where ever but make sure the set the drop down box to .jpg

>reply to this click browse, pic the pic in the location you saved it in and lets see what you got. If you need any help PM me or the guy above. I'll be on till 5pm...
