| Resizing an Image | ||
| To resize an image, open the Image size
dialog box, shown in Figure 4.1. You can see the Pixel dimension
in pixels (logically) or percentages. You can also see the image
print size (set in Output size section of screen) in inches,
centimeters, points, picas, or columns; percentages can also be found
using the pop-up menus.
When you first open the Image size dialog box, if you set the width and height pixel dimensions to Percent, you'll see the default setting of 100%. The easiest way to enlarge or reduce the image is to make sure that Constrain Proportions is checked at the bottom of the dialog box, and then simply enter new percentages in one of the fields and click OK. As if by magic, the other numbers will change to give you the correct percentage of enlargement or reduction. For now, ignore Resample Image. Leave it set to Bicubic. |
