I selected an area using the magic wand and I wanted to fill the area with a bitmap and I wanted to constrain the proportions of the bitmap when I filled the area so that it wouldn’t tile the bitmap. I can’t seem to be able to do this. I tried creating a pattern but that didn’t seem to work. Any info you might be able to give me would be appreciative.
