The exact size of the layer in Photoshop. Puff Little Things in Photoshop (3.2)

When you open Photoshop, the scale of the visible fragment of the layer is exactly the same as the area of ​​the canvas, and it can be changed in any proportions. With the help of a set of tools for transformation in a graphical editor, you can change the parameters of any element on any layer.

Walkthrough:

1. Through functions Free Transform(Free Transform) menu Edit(Editing) and Scale(Zoom) from a group Transform(Transform) you can change the size of any element that are on different layers (excluding background).

If you need to enlarge or reduce the image, you need to select any of these functions, and drag to the desired size for the part of the circle or node that circles the picture. When the key is pressed Shift, you can change the size of the element by moving the frame, while maintaining the proportions of the sides. To save changes, press Enter.

2. If there is an image on the layer that is much larger than the canvas (located in invisible area), then using the palette Navigator(Navigator) scale down the image until there is a free area between the edges of the window and the object. If there is no such icon, call it in the menu Window(Window) or click on the image of the Steering wheel.

3. Changes in the layer content parameter are made by using the transformation functions. To achieve this, when free transforming, you must select the function maintain aspect ratio(Keep proportions) and enter the required data (in %) in the field H- height and W- width.

4. If there is a need to transform the sizes of images on the background layer, then use the function Layer from background(Layer from background) in the menu layer (Layer), or by double-clicking on the specified layer. This will lead to unlocking, and already by means of transformation, you can freely change the size of the object.

5. Changing the size of pictures that are on different layers, in the same proportions, is done by selecting all layers by holding ctrl before the transformation is applied.

6. Change all layers synchronously is possible thanks to the function Image SizeCanvas Size(Canvas Size) in the menu Image(Image).

When applied Image Size resizes the document and the elements present on all its layers.

Using Canvas Size resizing all layers with a fill, as well as all layers with adjustments.

That's all, good luck!

Instruction

The size An object that is on any layer other than the background layer can be modified using the Free Transform options of the Edit menu and the Scale options of the Transform group located in the same menu. To reduce or enlarge the picture, apply any of these options and drag the node or side of the frame surrounding the image. If you need to resize an object while maintaining its aspect ratio, move the frame while holding down the Shift key. After pressing the Enter key, the transformation will be applied.

The size of the image lying on the layer can exceed the size of the canvas of the document. In this case, the transformation frame will be in the hidden area. Zoom out to see this frame. To do this, use the Navigator palette so that there is free space between the borders of the document and the window in which it is open.

How to use the zoom tool

The scaling tool is designed to resize elements or groups of elements in AutoCad drawings. This tool is necessary for displaying individual drawing elements with varying degrees of detail. To increase or decrease the size of an object using scaling, you can:

Enter the _scale command into the command line, in Russian versions the "SCALE" command is used;
- call the drop-down menu from the Modify item and select the Scale tool in it;
- click on the corresponding icon in the main toolbar;
- call the context menu by right-clicking the mouse and select the Scale command.

How to set the scale for an object

There are two ways to set the scale. The first is to enter the corresponding scaling factor value in the text field that appears after activating the Scale command, and press the Enter key after entering the value. Naturally, this value must be known in advance, otherwise the operation will have to be canceled and redone. The coefficient value must be entered relative to unity. That is, 1 is the current scale, 2 is the increase in the object, and 0.5 is the decrease in the object by half.

If the exact value of the scaling factor is unknown, you can edit the size of the object "by eye" using the second method. To do this, after activating the scaling command, move the cursor to the center of the object and, holding the left mouse button, drag from the center to the edges, which will increase the scale of the object. To change the scale down, you need to drag not at the center of the object, but at its visible border and in the opposite direction.

global scope

Depending on the scaling options you set, objects in the viewport may behave differently when zoomed in or out. The parameters of the global scale in the model editing mode are set in the line type selection window. As with object scaling, the global scale factor is bound to one.

In sheet editing mode, you can set an individual scale for each viewport. To do this, open the viewport properties by double clicking on its outline and select the appropriate annotation scale value. If there are several viewports on the sheet, each of them will display the set scale. This is the best way to match scaling when viewing and printing a drawing.

The image transformation modes, which are available to the user of the Adobe Photoshop graphics editor, allow you to resize both the entire image as a whole and individual layers. This is easy to do for those who are used to managing everything with the mouse, and for those who prefer not to take their fingers off the keyboard.

You will need

• Graphic editor Adobe Photoshop.

Instruction

Launch a graphics editor and load the file containing the layers you want to reduce into it.

Select the layer you want to work with. You need to do this in the panel, opened by pressing the F7 function key or by selecting the "Layers" item in the "Window" section of the Photoshop menu. If several layers need to be reduced equally, click them all with the left mouse button while holding down the Ctrl key. To reduce grouped items, it is enough to select only the line with the folder in which they are collected.

Turn on the image transform mode. You can do this through the menu of the graphic editor: expand the "Editing" section, go to the "Transform" subsection and select the "Scaling" item. You can replace all these manipulations by pressing the key combination Ctrl + T (here T is Latin).

If you need to reduce the size of the selected layer while maintaining the original proportions, click on the icon with the image of a chain of two links. It is placed between the boxes labeled "W" and "H" in the "Options" panel. This panel is placed in a narrow strip along the top or bottom edge of the Photoshop window. If it is not visible, turn on the display through the "Window" section in the editor's menu by selecting the "Options" item.

Resize the image in the reduced layer. This can be done by changing the numbers in the "W" (width) and "H" (height) boxes in the options bar. Entering new values ​​from the keyboard is not necessary, just click the desired window and use the up and down arrow keys, while controlling the resizing visually. If the aspect ratio mode is enabled, changing the value in one of the boxes will automatically change the number in the other.

You can use the mouse instead of the Options Bar. After turning on the image transformation mode, a frame with anchor points appears around it - they can be dragged with the left mouse button, thereby changing the image size. The proportions of the image will be preserved only when dragging points in the corners of the frame while holding down the Shift key.

To turn off the image transformation mode, press the Enter key.

We used the free transform function to see how big the brick image is compared to our canvas, after zooming out to see the inside of the window.

By reducing the visibility scale, we can look at our entire canvas and the entire transferred brick image. This approach to some extent resembles the work of an artist when he works on a picture (paints a picture). After making a few strokes with a brush, the painter can move away from the canvas and look at the result from a longer distance. Of course, we can not change the visibility, but simply activate the free transform function with the Ctrl + T keys, and then by pressing and holding the left mouse button (grab the picture-layers) start moving it in any direction until one of the scaling markers appears:

The bottom left corner marker is visible in the picture. If we need to reduce the brick picture-layers while maintaining proportions, then it would be better to pull exactly one of the corner markers to the center of our canvas, and not the top and bottom side markers. Working with corner markers, we keep the proportions of the whole picture. We can drag and resize the marker by simply grabbing it with the mouse, we can drag with the Shift key pressed and held, and this is better. So we reduce the distortion of each pixel and the picture as a whole. The best for us will be zooming while holding the Shift + Alt keys. If someone in their work prefers to work through the menu and does not like to use "hot keys", the one in this case, should not ignore the Shift+Alt keys, as it is about maintaining image quality and this pair of keys is not a "hot" key. Last time we removed the selection by pressing the Esc key. Let's make a selection again using the Ctrl+T keys (hotkeys) or via the menu:

Also, we can select the "Transform" option, and in the window that opens the refinement actions, the "Scale" function:

Whichever way we go, the picture, as a result, will be captured by markers. Don't forget to take a look at the layers palette and make sure that all the necessary layers are ready for resizing, i.e. they should be highlighted in blue. So, our canvas with the brick picture transferred to it is ready for resizing, or rather, the brick picture on it, because it is its size that we reduce to the size of our canvas. Taking care of the quality of the reduced image-layers (taking into account the preservation of proportions), it will not be a mistake, in addition to holding the Shift + Alt keys, to move not one corner marker, but all four, and do it in a diagonal mode, i.e. bottom left, then top right, then bottom right, then top left:

Or in a different sequence, depending on which of the markers comes first. Recall that, according to our plan, the transferred brick picture should correspond to the size of our canvas. Therefore, it is enough for us to bring each of the corner markers to the corresponding corner of the canvas and press the Enter key twice. The transform function will be interrupted and the program will accept the changes we made:

In this picture, the Enter key has not yet been pressed. Press it twice and the markers will disappear:

I scaled the visibility so that the size of our canvas, with the brick image transferred to it, matches the original brick image (it's on the left). As we can see, our canvas (on the right) is no worse than the original. If we feel that the markers have been brought to the corners of our canvas, according to our own feelings, not ideally, then we can move the picture-layers with the arrow keys without deselecting or, conversely, deselecting it. We do all this at our own discretion. We can trim the size of our canvas by moving the top and bottom markers, as well as the side ones. In this case, it is better to hold down the Shift key. But, if, having estimated by eye, we see that it is necessary to trim somewhere by 1-3 pixels, then the Shift key can not be held. Another option to reduce/enlarge would be to use the percentage scaling function. Let's decide for a change that according to our creative idea, we want the brick background to be not the size of our entire canvas, but a little narrower horizontally. If we make "narrowness" with the help of markers, then we need to pull the top middle marker down a little, and pull the middle bottom marker a little up. It's all conditional. We move as much as we need to bring our creative ideas to life. The Shift key, with such a movement, we hold or do not hold, i.e. as we like and depending on what we get. Let's enter the free transform mode via the menu or with the Ctrl+T keys. We remember that we are only transforming the brick background. Therefore, in the layers palette, only it should be highlighted in blue:

Let's take a look at the menu before pressing Ctrl+T or before selecting the Edit tab from the menu and the Free Transform option:

And now let's take a look at the menu after entering free transform mode:

The menu has changed somewhat - there are boxes of values, including the percentage of width and height we need at the moment. Let's hover over the height box and highlight the value "100". It began to glow blue. You can also highlight the entire value:

Let's say that we decide to reduce the height by 60%, well, how to cut off the brick background from the top and bottom. That is, 100% minus 60% equals 40%. So let's enter the value - 40. If we have selected everything completely, then it is still not necessary to write the percent sign, Photoshop will understand how it should be. Press Enter:

Here's how the brick background narrowed. If you press Enter again, then such a transformation of the brick background layer will be accepted by the program and the markers will disappear, and we will have a brick strip. We see that the brick background has become narrower as we wanted, but the texture itself has shrunk - the bricks have become small. Is this what we need? Suppose that this does not suit us, we want the bricks to be what they were in size, they would remain so. In this case, scaling should be discarded. We need to think about what to do. Again, we can remove the excess, or we can hide it and thereby insure ourselves in case it seems to us that the left strip of the brick background is narrow or, on the contrary, large. We will come back to this, and now we will continue talking about scaling. We changed the height percentage in our example. We can also change only the width and, of course, the height and width at the same time, setting the values ​​​​we need. Working through the menu with percentage values, we do not use the Shift and Shift + Alt keys. We can work with the size of the image before transferring it to our canvas. The canvas is created and then the brick image is opened:

We remember what size we created our canvas, but if we forgot, then for clarification, we turn to the “Image” menu tab, and in it to the “Canvas Size” option:

In the window that opens, we see the desired parameters:

Working in the mode of several (in our case with two) windows, it is unforgettable to pay attention to what we are working with, i.e. in which window. Our canvas is 454px wide and 340px high. Now let's go to the window with the brick image and up to the dimensions of the brick image in the same way. What parameters do we see:

That the portable brick image is half the size of our canvas. Let's hover over the width value in pixels. Press the left mouse button and hold it to make a selection of the parameter:

Now we will enter a value equal to the value of the width of our canvas, i.e. 454:

After entering the width value, the height parameter changed automatically and differs from the height value of our canvas by only one pixel. Before clicking "OK" we will make technical settings. They, however, have already been made by me, so I will point to them with arrows:

We're going to transfer the image onto our blank canvas, and in the top four images, it's already on our canvas. Forgive me for being so incorrect, I want to say a few words about removing unnecessary layers. To delete a layer, it must be selected in the layers palette with a mouse click, i.e. it should be highlighted in blue. It can be several layers. After we have selected the layer(s) to be deleted, we need to grab them with the mouse and drag them into the basket in the lower right corner of the layers palette:

You can remain on the selection with the right mouse button to call up the options window, where select the "Delete layers" item:

Or just click "Delete". So we entered the dimensions of our canvas instead of the original dimensions of the brick image. Now click "OK" and see what we got:

Visually, our canvas and brick image are the same. With this method of scaling, it is not necessary to select layers. Photoshop worked with all layers automatically. Well, let's select all the layers of the brick image in the layers palette and grab them with the mouse (we already did this) and drag them into the window with our canvas:

Let's release the mouse button and the brick picture will fit on our canvas as it should, i.e. in the center. Let's see if everything is in order for our peace of mind. Press the key combination Ctrl+T:

A barely perceptible whiteness is visible on the upper and left side. Let's try to move the brick image with the left arrow and the up arrow on the keyboard. In my opinion, the whiteness around these edges has disappeared, now you can press Enter so that this small adjustment is accepted and the markers disappear. In principle, it is not needed. We do it at our discretion. When monitoring the quality of your work, it will be correct to increase the visibility scale in order to better see individual important areas. It should be borne in mind that with this method of scaling, the size of all layers is changed simultaneously.

To be continued…

The size of the visible fragment of the layer of any Photoshop graphic document is the same as the size of the entire canvas of the document being searched for. Therefore, you can change it simply by changing the size of the original document. But Photoshop still has standard tools for editing the size of a fragment. In order to learn how to change the size of a fragment on your own, you will need to open a file in Photoshop that contains several fragments.

Instruction

1. You can change the scale of any object in the file using the Free Transform command, it is located in the Edit menu, or you can use the Scale option, you can find it in the same menu in the Transform list. With one of the above options selected, drag the edge of the box that contains the editable object. If you need to maintain the proportions of the object's size when rescaling a layer, hold down the Shift key while stretching or shrinking. To save the size, press Enter on the keyboard.
2. In some cases, the size of the image on one of the layers may be larger than the size of the main background of the document. In this case, the borders of the background of this image will go beyond the scope of the entire document. To see the borders of this background, you need to use the Navigator tool and use it to reduce the scale of the entire document to those sizes at which the borders of a larger object will be visible.
3. If you need to set a specific layer size, you must manually enter the required data in the transform value fields. To independently change the height and width of an object, enter the height data in the H column, and the width data in the W column. The data is entered as a percentage of the original dimensions. In order for the size to change in proportion to the original, you need to enable the Maintain aspect ratio option in the settings panel.
4. If the picture you want to resize is on the main background, you should unlock the image. For this, the Layer from Background function is used. You can find it in the Layer menu, or simply double-click on the layer. Further, the size changes in the same way as in the case described above.
5. If you need to resize multiple images on different layers while maintaining the original aspect ratio. Then just select the required volumes by holding down the Ctrl key.
6. Next, you should use the Image Size or Canvas Size function, they are located in the Image menu. When using the first option, the scale of objects on all layers will change. The second option will change the size of the adjustment layers, as well as the layers containing the fill. The rest of the layers will remain unchanged.

When you zoom in on an image in Photoshop, it changes the scale of all the layers that make up the document. This option can be found in the Image section. In the case when you need to resize not the entire document, but a specific layer, then you need to use the functions of the "editing" section.
