Using photoshops crop tool to resize your images
Still using image/canvas size to resize your images?
The canvas size dialog is fine if you know the exact dimensions, but what if you want to recompose an image and want to visualize your resizing?
Enter the photoshop crop tool.
First make sure you change the background layer to a normal layer, just hold down the ALT key and doubleclick the layer, voila.
Now hit C to get your crop tool out and drag over the whole image. Click on the “Clear” to clear all dimension restrictions.
Now simply drag the corners of your image to get the size you want and hit enter when done. Your original image is left untouched, photoshop just adds move pixels around the original so no pixel is harmed.
