I know how to select with it and I use the Movement tool to copy the selected part from a picture to another picture. The problem is that when I move the selected area to the other picture then the selected area is pretty smaller than on the original picture ( from which I moved it )
Why is this and how can I fix it ? I use Photoshop CS5 by the way
10 points for best answer !

It sounds like you are trying to move part of a image from a low resolution image into a higher resolution image.
For each image, go to IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE and make sure they are both set to:-
[Resolution: 72 pixels/cm]
Make a note of what 'Pixel Dimensions' are. If one of the images is MUCH bigger than the other one, try reducing the size.
Lastly, click CTRL-T to 'transform' the part of the image that you just dragged in. You can then resize it with the mouse. (CTRL SHIFT will keep the clipped image in aspect ratio)
Good Luck :)

No, I hear you. you're utilising a course to create a variety. The rounded rectangle gadget is a factor of that gadget set. ok, I even have not ever used version 7, yet I guess this could nonetheless artwork: click on the layer which you fairly desire to diminish out. Now click on the layer mask button (looks like a circle interior a rectangle, below the layers interior the layers pallet) two times. the 1st time you click it, it will make a white field next to the icon for the layer you're engaged on. the 2nd time, it is going to create a grey field next to the white one. Now grab the rounded rectangle gadget. do no longer use it merely yet nonetheless. once you have the gadget chosen seem to the gadget strategies close to the precise of the reveal. there will be 3 pen gadget buttons up there. click the left-maximum button to entice paths. (i think of it fairly is left-maximum... hover over them each and each to make certain then choose the single that shows which you will be drawing paths). Now seem to the stunning of those buttons and you will see a set of buttons with overlapping squares. % the single, single sq.. Now click on the grey field you created with till now. Then draw your rectangle. which will cover each little thing interior the layer different than what you chosen. in case you fairly had to "decrease" your decision, then at this ingredient you need to Cmd(mac)/Ctrl(laptop) + click the grey field from till now. it is going to % of the path you drew. Then press Cmd + J (mac) or Ctrl + J (laptop) to "bounce" the call to a sparkling layer. Now you have a layer uncluttered via layer mask. great ordinary version: Draw the rounded rectangle which you many times draw that covers up your image. Now Cmd + click (mac) or Ctrl + click (laptop) on it fairly is icon interior the layers pallet to make it a variety. next, activate the layer you had to influence via clickin on it interior the layers pallet. finally, press Cmd + J (mac) or Ctrl + J (laptop) to "bounce" the call to a sparkling layer. wish that helps.
