To resize the dimensions of your image in Sketchbook, including affecting any imported images within it, you can use the Image Size tool found in the toolbar. This method adjusts the overall canvas dimensions of your project.
Resizing your image canvas allows you to change the total pixel width and height, which can be necessary when preparing your artwork for specific outputs or fitting an imported image within a new canvas size.
Steps to Resize Your Image
Follow these simple steps to adjust the overall dimensions of your image in Sketchbook:
-
Access the Tool: Navigate to the toolbar at the top of your Sketchbook window.
-
Select Image Size: Click on the Image menu, and then select Image size.
- This action opens a dedicated window where you can input your desired new dimensions.
-
Adjust Dimensions: In the Image Size window that appears, you'll see options under Pixel Dimensions.
- Choose your preferred unit of measurement: pixels or percent.
- Enter the desired numeric value for both the Width and Height of your image.
- Note: Changing the pixel dimensions will resample your image, which can affect image quality.
-
Confirm Changes: After entering the new dimensions, tap the OK button to apply the changes.
Your image canvas will now be resized according to the values you entered. Any content, including imported images, will be adjusted relative to this new canvas size, potentially requiring further transformation of individual layers if needed.
