This is what I am trying to do..... I have a canvas that is smaller than the picture I am trying to paste onto it. Can anyone tell me how to shrink the picture to make it fit the canvas without having to downsize the picture BEFORE pasting? Is this even possible? Help please!!

Paste in your picture, edit, transform, scale, drag to size wanted and then center it. Flatten layers.

I usually change the DPI of the canvas to fit the photo I want to paste into it.
Say I start with a 5x7 300dpi canvas: I paste into it, if I want the crop tighter, I'll undo the paste and try a 290dpi canvas, and paste again.

I don't like transform for resize, it can do some ugly things.

I am working on an AsukaBook layout if that makes any difference.

If the photo you want to paste is on the Clipboard, if you create a new document, Photoshop should automatically make it exactly the same size/resolution.
If you are pasting into an existing document, you'll have to enlarge its Canvas to match unless you want to scale (resample) it. |

hold "shift" while scaling; the ratio will stay the same |
