Q: How do I scale the standard 48x48 icons? In general, how do I scale any TIFF or EPS image?

\i0 A: Start up /NextDeveloper/Demos/Icon.app. Create a new untitled document. Grab the 48x48 icon using the command Grab Selection under the Image menu (Shortcut - Command-g) and place it in the document. Bring up the Tools Inspector panel. The scaling tool is the fourth item on the second row of the Marquee/Lasso Options. Scale the icon to the size desired. Note that you must have your icon selected first. Save the file with the option: "Save Selection". The default setting is "Save Document".

To do so, you just click the Coordinates button. The button is replaced by a readout that shows the scale factor in both the x and y axes as you drag the image larger or smaller (the last 2 numbers on the right specify the x and y scale factors respectively). To maintain the aspect ratio of the original image, you simply make sure the x and y axis scale factors are the same. For example, to make an icon twice as large, you drag the corner until both scale factors are 200.\
