Compose the original plate filling the maximum width for whichever % enlargement you wish to use. Do not worry about the length except you cannot exceed maximum length given. The plate will be enlarged in the final step of the process.

Under Window menu, choose Palettes - Show Layers (in Photoshop 5.0, under Window menu: Show Layers)

• b. Copy the background layer of this file to the blank background plate file created in Step 1 above. To do this, click on the layer in the Layers Palette, hold down the mouse button and drag it (closed fist symbol) to the blank background plate [A].
