14.  Resizing an image is one of the most common procedures we do with pictures.  Typically a photo will be 1-2 or even 3Mb. Sending several of these in an email would be too big for the receiver to download.  And a picture this size is not suitable for a webpage/blog as it would take some time for the webpage to load.

15.  Go to Image menu – Image size.  The dialogue box gives you the original size in pixels.  Make sure Preserve aspect ratio is ticked, so when you reduce the size the picture will not deform.

16.  Enter a value in width, for example 400, and see how the other values change automatically.  Click OK. See how its size has decreased.

17.  Look at the picture and decide if you are satisfied with the size.  You can undo unwanted change - use the undo arrow or go to Edit menu.  Save the image. Once you have resized your picture, use the Save As to save the new file rather than using Save, which will overwrite your original file.  You can save as type ‘png’ or ‘jpeg’
