by Joe Holler

To change the size of an image file, click on he "Resize/Resample" button Resize/Resample to get the dialog box:

Resize/Resample

There are 4 ways to make the change, by changing the pixels, percent, print size, or by choose a standard size. For the top 3, choose the method you prefer by clicking on the radio button, then make the change increasing or decreasing the number in the box by using the up and down arrows.

Pixels, Percent,, Print Size

To choose a standard size, click the radio button, then click the drop down menu and click a size.

Standard Size

If you want the image to not be distorted by stretching either vertically or horizontally, click the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" check box Aspect Ratio. If you want stretching distortion, uncheck the box.

There are several algorithms that the computer can use to make this change, called filters. I am not familiar with them so I leave the bottom most box set on the default.

Filter

After you have made your selections, click "OK".

After you have resized the image, click "OK", then you will need to save the changed that you made to the image. Hit "S" for "Save", "CTRL + S" for "Save As". If you try to select another image you will be prompted to save the changes made to the previous image.
