What I would like to know is how the person who wrote the tutorial managed to do this:
Edit: Transform: Scale to shrink the texture down into a much smaller area?

Thanks!

I don't know if I realy know what your problem is, but here's my answer.

First, the texture should be on a layer, shouldn't be the background. Now, when you use the transform> scale tool a box appears around you image.

Use the corners and the sites, where you see a little square, to shrink the image. Hold shift to keep the right shape.

Hope this was it! :D

Blah,right now...I'm stuck and it seems I can't use the Edit-Transform function 'cos it's greyed out.

oh well,thanks for your help anyway!

What version are you running? And are you working in RGB mode?

6.0 and in RGB mode.

Am a little confused :before I apply any actions,should I put a new layer?

IMO,I don't think there is a need for it since it won't be used but what's ur opinion?

Also,in the first screenshot for Step 3,I can see Layer 2 and Layer 2 copy.Therefore,I'm trying to figure out where or when the first layer was used.

Do you have the whole texture selected?
I think it should work when you do select>all
