Resize Image
The Resize filter allows the image to be changed in size. It replicates or merges pixels as appropriate to
arrive at the new size. Resize most commonly would be used to create a smaller version of a very large
image to allow users to increase response time when applying filters or to import the image into another
software package that does not accept large images.
Tip: There is little point to increasing an image's size, although the filter does support it. Such an image
would have more physical pixels after the operation, but it does not gain any new information content.
•
Click onto Resize from the Edit menu. The Resize window will appear.
• Select the desired new size from the drop-down list of suggested sizes.
OR
• Select the Enter custom size option and type either the desired new width or the desired new
height.
Note: To distort the image, clear the Maintain Aspect Ratio check box and type the new width and
height. This should be used only to reverse a similar distortion created in the image capture
process.
• Click OK. Resizing a large image may take a few seconds.
