Resizing Objects and Photos

To Resize an Object or Photo:

1. Select the Selection Tool and click the object or photo.
2. In the Menu bar, click Object | Rotate/Flip/Resize | Resize.
3. In the Resize dialog box, select a resize method:
• Select Percentage from the drop-down if you want to resize the object or photo based on a percentage of its original size. For example, you could enter 50% to reduce its size by half, or enter 150% to increase its size by half.
• Select Absolute from the drop-down if you want to change the object or photo to a specific width and height.
• Select Proportional if you want to change the width and height of the object or photo proportionally. This ensures that the object or photo is not distorted as you increase or decrease its size.
• Select Resample if you want to resample the selected photo. Its resolution will increase or decrease depending on whether you make the photo smaller or larger. If Resample is not selected, when you resize a photo, its resolution will remain unchanged.
• Enter the new Width and Height. If you selected Proportional, you only have to enter width or height, but not both. For example, if you enter a width, the height is automatically calculated for you.
• If you are resizing a group of objects, select Keep As Group to apply the resize method and amount to all of the selected objects.
4. Do one of the following:
• Click Apply to resize the object or photo but keep the resize dialog open. This is useful if you want to see what it looks like before closing the dialog.
• Click OK to resize the object or photo and close the resize dialog.
