 Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 2:22 am Post subject: How to resize an image by grabbing images reference points |
 |
|
When My wife first installed photoshop she made a change to a setting which allowed her to resize her image by grabbing points and draging the image to the desired size. This was very usefull when making collages of family photos.
One of our children used the computer to try out things they were learning at school in photoshop and now we do have the option to drag as there are no clickable areas to acomplish this. We have tried, numerous sites to no avail
Help appreciated. Brent

Hey, there's a "BOUNDING BOX" option up at the top bar. Just select that and you should be able to see the grab handles.

If there is only one layer (the background layer) then you first have to select the whole image with Select/All
Then go to Edit/Transform/Scale and you can pull the image around. If you hit the little chain at the top (the one between the width and the height boxes) then you will only be able to scale proportionately, which is probably what you want to do because if you don't hit the chain you can distort the image.
If you are working on a layer above the base layer than you just need to select it in the layers palette and you don't need to use Select/All.
Then the rest of what you want to do is the same as for the background layer.
