Click the Preserve Size checkbox to select or deselect it.

If the Preserve Size checkbox is selected, the uncompressed size of the image
(labeled New Size in the dialog box) won’t change, no matter how much
larger or smaller you make its dimensions. Changing the image’s dimensions
changes its resolution only.

If the Preserve Size checkbox isn’t selected, the uncompressed size of the
image (labeled New Size in the dialog box) changes when you change the
image’s dimensions.

5

Define the new dimensions you want for the image by typing a percentage in the Percent
box or typing new dimensions in the Width and Height boxes.

The Percent box is always set to 100 when you first open the dialog box.
When you type a new number, the Width and Height boxes also change to
show the size of the image at that percentage.

Alternatively, you can type the new dimensions you want in the Width and
Height boxes. If the Preserve Proportions checkbox is selected, changing one
automatically changes the other.

When you define the image’s new dimensions, either the Resolution number
(if the Preserve Size checkbox is selected) or the New Size number (if the
Preserve Size checkbox isn’t selected) also changes automatically.

IMPORTANT

If Preserve Size isn’t selected and you increase the image’s

dimensions, it will use more disk space when you save it. Make sure you have
enough space available.

6

Click OK to close the Resize dialog box and initiate the resizing.

PhotoFlash resizes the image, ignoring any selection the image contains.

If you’re resizing multiple images whose thumbnails are selected in a catalog,
PhotoFlash opens the images (if they’re not already open) and resizes each
one.
