Image editor – resize. How to use?

To resize an image using an image editor, follow these general steps:

  1. Open the Image Editor: Launch the image editing software on your computer. This could be Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, or any other image editing program you have installed.
  2. Import the Image: Use the software’s file menu or drag-and-drop functionality to import the image you want to resize into the editor.
  3. Select the Resize Tool or Option: Look for a tool or option specifically labeled “Resize” or “Image Size.” In most image editing programs, this can be found in the menu bar under options like “Image” or “Edit.”
  4. Adjust the Dimensions: Once you’ve accessed the resizing tool, you’ll typically see options to input new dimensions for the image. You can specify the width and height in pixels, inches, or other units depending on the software.
  5. Maintain Aspect Ratio (Optional): Many image editors offer the option to maintain the aspect ratio of the image while resizing. This ensures that the proportions remain consistent. If you want to maintain the aspect ratio, make sure this option is checked or selected.
  6. Preview and Confirm: Before finalizing the resize, some image editors allow you to preview the changes. Take a look at how the resized image will appear and make any necessary adjustments. Once you’re satisfied, confirm the changes.
  7. Save the Resized Image: After resizing, save the edited image with a new filename to avoid overwriting the original file. Choose a file format and quality setting appropriate for your needs, and then save the resized image to your desired location on your computer.
  8. Close the Editor: Once you’ve saved the resized image, you can close the image editing software.

These steps may vary slightly depending on the specific image editing software you’re using, but the basic process should be similar across most programs. Refer to the software’s documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions tailored to your chosen editor.
