We've lost a lot of detail in the image, and it's starting to look soft and blurry. Photoshop lets us know that the width and height values of the image are currently linked together by displaying a linked icon to the right of the values:īy enlarging the image, I've managed to return it to its original size, but when we compare the quality with that of the original, the enlarged version clearly doesn't look as good. Normally, you wouldn't change the width of a photo without changing the height as well, otherwise things will look distorted. That's because by default, Photoshop keeps the original aspect ratio of the image intact when you resize it, which is usually what you want. In other words, if you try to change the value for the width of your image, the height will change along with it. You'll notice, unless you've changed the default settings, that when you enter in a new Width or Height value, the other value changes automatically. When you're done, click the OK button and Photoshop will resize the image to whatever percent value you entered. Just double-click inside the Width or Height value box and type in a new percentage. Resizing the image using a percentage is done the same way as if you were using pixel values.

Once you've chosen percent as your measurement type, the Pixel Dimensions section will display the width and height of your image as a percentage rather than a pixel value. Sometimes an improvement can be gained by increasing the dimensions of an image - for example, where it the resolution is too low for the vectorisation to extract the required detail.Changing the measurement type from pixels to percent.

You might also consider using the Reduce Image Resolution function as an alternative to this Resize facility. It would be best to save the resized image to file and then close and re-open it so that the Undo image is no longer in memory. NOTE: if you're using this option to save memory, remember that WinTopo keeps a copy of the old image in memory for the Undo feature. For example, a very large image which requires 4Gb of RAM to process can be processed on a machine with 1Gb by resizing to 50%. By halving the image dimensions, you reduce to a quarter the amount of memory required to process it. Sometimes is is beneficial to reduce the dimensions of an image which is too large to be processed within your computer's memory (for example, if it has been scanned at an unnecessarily high a resolution). Raster to Vector conversion can sometimes be improved by resizing an image: stretched a different amount in width to the height) you need to deselect the Lock Aspect Ratio option. If you want your new image to be a different shape (i.e. (The aspect ratio represents the rectangular shape of the image - how high it is in proportion to how wide it is). The change is calculated to keep the aspect ratio the same for the new image size as it is for the current image size.

When this is set the height will automatically change if you change the width, or the width will automatically change if you change the height. The new size for the raster image can be entered either in pixels (width and height) or as a percentage of the current height.īy default the Lock Aspect Ratio option is set. This window shows the current dimensions of the raster image (in pixels), and allows a new size to be entered. option is selected, a window like this will be displayed:
#RESIZE IMAGE LARGER FULL#
This option is only available for full colour, 24 bit depth, images (Tip: if necessary, use the Change Image Colour Bit Depth facility to make a paletted image into a full colour image).
