Thanks, but I think the mist is clearing. What frustrated me was that
Image Size only reflects the entire image (I see Link symbol), not the
five or six small image each in its own layer that I used to build it.
I understand now that I should settle on a size for the smaller images
and set them with Image Size as I import each. Thanks for your patience.
