Resizing an image

You can resize an image to decrease the image's height and width.

About this task

You can resize any PNG or JPEG image that is contained within a Multimedia Component to decrease the image's overall dimensions. The aspect ratio (ratio of width to height) is maintained automatically to prevent distortion of the image.

Procedure

  1. Click Edit Image (or one of the other Edit buttons).
    A new edit window opens.
  2. Click the Resize button.
    The image's current width and height (in pixels) appear beside the image.
  3. Below the current dimensions in the Fit to fields, adjust either the image's height or width.
    • Type a desired value for width or height.
    • Use the up and down arrows to incrementally change the width or height.
    If you modify the height, the width will automatically adjust. Likewise if you modify the width, the height will adjust.
  4. When you are satisfied with the image size, click Apply.
    The sizing changes are made, and you can continue editing the image.
  5. When you are done with all the image edits you want to make, click Finish Editing.

Results

Your image modifications are saved to the linked Multimedia Component.
