Photoshop Tutorial Resizing Images

Resizing An Image. You’ll find in Photoshop that most images will need resizing, and with a few clicks of the mouse this can be achieved. It’s a simple task but I would say it’s the most common one used within Photoshop.

Okay all you need to do is click on Image tab across the top > Image > Image Size , short cut for this is Ctrl-Alt-I (Command-Option-I on a mac). Here you can alter your image size anyway you like.

As you can see on the image above Photoshop lets you alter your Image either in pixels or inches. Plus Photoshop also allows you to alter the resolution for your image once you have changed the size of it.

How To Resize A Layer Or Selection

If you’re resizing any image in Photoshop it automatically allows you to resize any image without affecting the overall size of your document. Another tool built into Photoshop’s arsenal.

If you want to resize an image within your layer palette, all you have to do is just select the images you wish to resize by using the selection tool. If you don’t use this you’ll end up resizing them all.

As you can see from the image above this has been resized, so you got more of your picture focusing on the dragonfly.

Once you have made your selection buy using the following keys Edit > Free Transform or press Ctrl-T (Command-T on a Mac). You’ll then see a Bounding box appear around you image.

This can then be dragged in or out by clicking your mouse on the handles at either corner. You might find that your image will get misshaped and out of proportion and all you need to do is hold down the Shift key and resize it by using the corner handles in all four corners.
