One quick Photoshop question

[Koosh]

Just a quick one.

Here's what I want to do. I want to take something in a picture, shrink it down, then put it back in the picture. I know how to fill the space that would go around it, I just don't know what to do to just shrink down what I select.

Thanks!

select what you want to resize, then cut it and paste it onto a new drawing with a transparent background (so it is easy to reselect once you edit it). then go to image>image size then enter the pixel or % to resize and just paste it back into the original picture.
