Resizing Images

By default, images appear at their full size. To scale them on the page:

  1. Select the image you want to resize.

    See Selecting Images for instructions.

  2. Choose Element > Inline Attributes... or click the Change inline object button on the Object Editors palette.

  3. Use the Width and Height fields to specify the new size.

    You can specify an exact measurement in pixels or you can specify the percentage of the page you want the image to occupy. Cosmo Create preserves the aspect ratio if you enter a value in only one field, either Height or Width.

    Use the menu button to the right of the Height and Width fields to switch between pixels and percentages.

  4. Click the Apply button.

    The image on the page is resized.

You can also resize the image by clicking and dragging one of the yellow sizing handles that surround the selected image. If you hold down the shift key while dragging out a region, the aspect of the region stays the same as a square. Similarly, if you drag out a polygon, and then resize by clicking and dragging, you can maintain the original aspect ratio by holding down the shift key while dragging.
