Hello there just stumbled upon your blog via Yahoo after I entered in, “Photoshop Tutorial: How do I maintain proportion and scale when I resize my images?” or something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). In any case, I’m pleased I found it because your subject material is exactly what I’m looking for (writing a college paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I collect some information from here and I will of course credit you as the source. Thank you so much.

Two Words: Smart Object… Its a much easier way to do this… open photo, make duplicate layer, right click on layer, click on convert to smart object, right click on photo click free transform.

Once you convert something to a smart object it maintains its proportions. Its made especially for this purpose.

just another approach. Thanks for sharing your discovery too.

I wish you would give a crash course to my child’s high school yearbook sponsor! The kids don’t have a clue and every year we pay for expensive yearbooks with stretched photos. Thanks for sharing your tutorial for everyone that needs it!

Thank you, Obi Wan. Actually, you’re more like Yoda. Teach me, Yoda. Show me the ways of the force {You can insert Photoshop here, thank you.}

My apologies for this Star Wars saturated comment. Apparently, my boys are rubbing off on me.

Send help.

Hi Jessica!

Thanks for stopping by. You might like Picnik which is nothing like Photoshop, but has great edit options for those with no PHotoshop skills. One click edits. Alternatively – GIMP is free and downloadable and has a layers palette like Photoshop. It’s got a bit more of a learning curve, but more control over the end result.

Good luck!

Hi! I stumbled on your blog a while back looking for other homeschooling moms. I love all of the photo advice you give, but I have a question for you. I don't have photoshop and buying it just isn't in the budget right now. Are there any free photo editing programs available that you would recommend? Thanks! .-= Jessica MaukÂ´s last blog ..The best part of homeschooling???? =-.

Another method for the PC is to have the Move Tool selected (shortcut V on the PC), pick a layer, then drag a corner. To maintain the correct ratio, hold down the Shift key.

Oh, Darcy, you’re such a good teacher. Maybe you should consider homeschooling.

You’re a diva! If I fly to your house, will you give me a private lesson on PS? I would be so in love with you!!!
p.s. after Drake gets out of the hospital, we (MJ & me) will be getting contact about that conference call! Life upside down still… thanks for all the concerns about Drake, we are working on the mend still, but slow and steady is his motto!!!
