Not scale about center
Hi,
i have 2 images that are the same, but in different size. Smaller one is the background and the other one is the foreground. I want to scale down the bigger one so it matches perfectly the smaller one. I decreased opacity so i can see what im doing. However, its hard to match something when you scale about center because the end you just finished matching goes out of place again as soon as you start doing the other. In many other programs such as Vegas its possible to disable scale about center but here i cant find the option. Is there such anyway?
Thank you.

Objects scale around the Anchor point in AE. You can move the Anchor Point to wherever you like. To move it select the layer. It will be the circle in the middle of the object. Then make sure you have the Anchor Point tool. Hit Y or go to the tools at the top of the program and click on the one that is next to the film camera that is a doted square box with a shape inside. Then click on the circle in the middle of your object and move it to where you want the shape to scale around.

Thank yo. So, lets say i want to bring down the top only but without moving the bottom. I should position the anchor point at the very bottom of the image?
Thank you.
