OK, so I usually don't use the latest/greatest version of ANY software because it's not worth killing yourself to learn a new app, only to find it has major limitations bla bla bla...
Anyway, I'm forced (at work) to use Photoshop 4.0 and 5.5 at times (VERY old, I know...) Illustrator 8 and Quark 4.1 Needless to say, for 90% of things I'm totally fine using what I have. My machine is old, so I really don't think there is much of an upgrade path. Well, I was just granted (by the grace of God) and upgrade to Photoshop 7. I have been reading up, so I'm not really amazed.
Wow, more filters...
The paint brushes are more advanced...
Type tools...
New paint engine...
(90% fluff, 10% cool stuff)
Anyway, the point of this post when I want to resize a layer, I couldn't figure out how to do it. (darn I feel old) It killed me. Using 4.0, I would have gone LAYER-->TRANSFORM-->SCALE but that's gone... Can someone throw me a bone here? I don't want to resize the whole image, I just want to resize one layer of the image...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's defiantly time to buy a book.

In PS7 I can Edit>Transform>Scale any individual layer.

 don't worry about it. i think they moved it in 5.5 or 6. it still gets me every now and then. then again, i did use photoshop 2.5 (i think) and 3 for a long time.

Also, if you "show bounding box' selected click on the bounding box, then the top tool bar shows the resize options, there you can enter 80%, etc
I prefer live resizing with the bounding box, espcially now with the live resizing in PS 7.
