Image scaling question - Cosmopsis - 07-22-2022
Hi, I'm completely new to photo editing and I'm so confused by this problem. Will be very grateful if anyone can explain what's going on!
I'm trying to make image 2 the same width as image 1. The images each individually measure about 45mm, but image 2 is somehow still smaller?
When I cut and paste image 2 onto image 1, it shows as about 25mm, when it was showing as about 45 mm when it was a separate file.
I assume I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something but I have no idea what.

What counts is the size in pixels. The size in physical units (inches/mm) is fairly virtual.
