To resize an image in Photoshop, you first need to select the specific image you wish to modify. Once your desired image is open, you can begin the resizing process by following these steps:
-
Locate the Image: Ensure the image you want to resize is open in Photoshop. It will typically appear in its own tab or window within the Photoshop interface.
-
Go to the Image Menu: Navigate to the main menu bar at the top of your screen.
-
Select Image Size: Click on the "Image" menu option. From the dropdown menu that appears, select "Image Size." This action opens the Image Size dialog box, which allows you to adjust your image's dimensions.
-
Use the Image Size Dialog Box: In this dialog, you will find options to modify the width and height of your image. You can change these either in terms of pixels, inches, or other measurements, as needed.
-
Fit Options: Use the "Fit To" drop-down menu to select popular web or print sizes, or input custom values.
-
Width and Height: Enter the new values directly into the Width and Height fields. Note that, you can maintain aspect ratio by ensuring the lock icon between the width and height is selected to scale proportionately.
- Apply Changes: After specifying your desired settings, click "OK" to apply these changes, and your image will be resized accordingly.
