IMPORTANT Resizing an image may cause its quality to deteriorate.
Note that the Resize tool and the Resize command work differently from the
Zoom tool or the Zoom command. The Resize tool and the Resize command
change the information stored on disk when you save the file, whereas the
Zoom tool and the Zoom command only magnify or reduce the image on
screen without changing its actual dimensions, resolution, or size on disk.
Resizing part of an image
To reduce or enlarge part of an image, follow these steps:
1 Select the area you want to resize.
For detailed instructions on using the Selection tools, see Chapter 3,
“Working With Selections.”
2 Click the Resize tool in the Tool palette to select it.
The Resize tool becomes highlighted.
3 Position the pointer over the selected area.
The pointer changes to the Resize tool icon.
4 Drag any corner or side of the selection in the direction you want to resize it.
To keep the proportions of the selected area the same while you resize it, hold
down the Shift key right after you first press the mouse button, and keep
holding it down while you drag. If you don’t hold down the Shift key, you are
likely to distort the selected area.
