Does anyone know of a good way to get side and front reference photos to be exactly the same size?

I can't seem to get it right and it causes much frustration when modeling.

Thanks,
Mat

umm just make sure they are the same resolution.

you can do this in photoshop if you have access to a copy of that.

other then that just take the resolutions of the photos and multiply them till you get it all evened out.

after that I suppose you could just lock the positions of the pictures together.

i mainly do it thought trial and error.

what i do is open up my ref images in photoshop and then hit ctrl+r

this gives you rulers to line everything up, on the rulers that are on the top and side you can drag out 'blue bars' that will help line up corresponding parts such as lights, windows, etc.

hope it helps :)
