Let's continue our conversation about how we can effectively resize our photographs. …And here I want to focus in on the importance of constraining proportions. …I also want to talk about how you can reset the image size dialog if you make a mistake. …Alright, well let's open up our image size dialog. …To do so, navigate to the Image Pull-down menu and then choose Image Size. …Click on this option to launch the image-size dialogue, and what I'm …going to do is zoom out here in the preview window.…
I'm going to do that for demo purposes. Alright, well, next, you may have noticed …this little icon right here. It's a little chain link icon. …This allows us to constrain proportions so that the aspect ratio of our image …stays the same. And so that our image looks good. …Now you may accidentally click on this and turn off this option. …Now if you do that, it then unlinks the these two fields, so that you can make a …change to the width and not the height. And this won't look good.…
Let me show you. Here I'll go ahead and enter a number. …
