1. Open a new document in Photoshop. File-New-type in the height and width in inches instead of pixels. Choose the size of the document that makes sense with your book (square or rectangle). This size will be the size of the images in the book and should not exceed 5.5 x 8.5 inches.
2. Go back to your other PS document with your image in it and use the lasso tool to draw and trace the part of the image you would like to work with first.
3. Copy your selection. Then click on your new blank PS document and paste the selection. The image will be very large in this new document so you will need to resize it. Control-T (transform) and descease the size of the image by dragging a corner in while holding down shift to keep the image proprtionate.
4. When you have made changes to the first image and are ready to save, go to File- Save As and name the document Book_p1 to keep everything organized. Continue to use Save As as you work to create the different pages in your book and keep them numbered.
