Image Scale

You can proportionally scale the original image. For best results, scaling should be done before you crop, flip, or rotate.

Images can only be scaled down, not up.

 

Image Crop Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height. For example the image ration of a square is 1:1.

You can preserve the aspect ratio by holding down the shift key while resizing your selection using the crop points.

Alternatively, use the input box to specify the aspect ratio, e.g. 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, etc.
