Layer problems

[duggarts]

I am still very new to Photoshop and  was gone for a while , I  have just returned to start learning again but I am having a layer problem .  I have imported 3 jpeg files along with a background file , the 3 files are at 100 % resolution however when I try to stack them as layers vertically on top of the background layer they automatically change to almost 200 % resolution.

    Can someone please explain what the problem is and how it can be corrected ?

Thanks very much.

the 3 files are at 100 % resolution

What is that supposed to mean?

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% and with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

It seems the resolution of the 3 jpegs are different to the background.

This is correct and expected behavior in Ps if this is the case.

You can confirm the resolution of the background and the three layers you are adding to the layer stack by choosing Image > Image Size and making a note of resolution. Independently of course.

To get the jpegs to "fit" in your background image, you can reduce their them by choosing Edit > Transform > Scale and dragging a corner handle whilst holding the Shift key.

Here is more info on resolution: Photoshop image size and resolution

Here is an explanation on the Transform controls in Ps: Transform objects in Photoshop
