 |
|
You know that rectangle selection tool? Cool huh! It lets you select a rectangular area and then move it around the graphic, letting you re-arrange layers or selected areas...
Well, I'm looking for a way to use a similar rectangular select tool and then be able to point at the bottom right corner of the selected area and be able to resize the selected area proportionally. Is there such a tool in photoshop? And if not, is there another graphic program that has this capablity? All I want is this simple capability, I'm willing to use whatever program that has it... its too much trouble creating my own program to do it.
Remember I said resize proportionately, in comparison MS Paint has a similar selection tool and lets you resize what you selected but NOT proportionately. I hope you understand what I mean. Resize but keep same proportionate dimensions...
Thank you.  |

Hey crybaby,
1) Create your selection with the rectangular marquee tool.
2) Go to Select -> Transform Selection
3) Hover the mouse above a coner handle, hold down SHIFT, and you can drag the selection proportionally.
4) Press enter to confirm the new selection dimensions.
Hope this helps
