14. Resizing an image is one of the most common
procedures we do with pictures.
Typically a photo will be 1-2 or even 3Mb. Sending
several of these in an email would be too big for
the receiver to download.
And a picture this size is not suitable for a
webpage/blog as it would take some time for the
webpage to load.
15. Go to Image menu – Image size.
The dialogue box gives you the
original size in pixels.
Make sure Preserve aspect ratio is
ticked, so when you reduce the
size the picture will not deform.
16. Enter a value in width, for example 400, and see
how the other values change automatically.
Click OK. See how its size has decreased.
17. Look at the picture and decide if you are satisfied
with the size.
You can undo unwanted change - use the undo
arrow or go to Edit menu.
Save the image.
Once you have resized your picture, use the Save
As to save the new file rather than using Save,
which will overwrite your original file.
You can save as type ‘png’ or ‘jpeg’
