Resizing An Image - Epson PhotoPC 500 User Manual

Resizing
You can use the Resize tool to enlarge or reduce a selected
part of an image. Then you can use the resized area like
any other selection—by cutting, copying, or pasting it, and
so on. To change the size of an entire image, use the Image
Size command on the Edit menu.
Resizing a Selection
Follow these steps:
1
Click the Resize tool.
2
Click and drag on the part of the image you want to
resize. When you release the mouse button, an
"animated" rectangle surrounds the selected area.
3
Click and drag a corner of the selection to change its
size. The selected area "floats" on top of the original
image; you can move it by clicking inside the selection
and dragging it with your mouse.
4
To remove the selection mask, click the Crop tool and
then click the image outside of the selection.

Resizing an Image

When you change the size of an image, you have several
choices to make:
You can keep the aspect ratio (height-to-width
proportion) of the original or change it.
You can set an exact size for the image's height or
width (or both) in pixels. Or, you can set a percentage
of enlargement or reduction.
You can change the image's resolution (up to 1200 dpi
or more, depending on your computer's memory).
Follow these steps to resize an image:
1
Choose Image Size from the Edit menu. A dialog box
like the one on the next page appears.
2
Click to uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio if you want to
change the height-to-width proportion. Leave it
checked if you want to keep the proportion.
