When you reduce an image, Canvas crops out pixels and discards the image data.When you enlarge an image, Canvas adds white pixels.Use the Crop command to adjust the overall size of an image. Using the Crop command to change image size For information on using Scale, see Scaling objects. Using the Scale command does not add or remove pixels from an image.

The Scale command lets you maintain the object’s proportions or distort an image by scaling it in one direction. Scaling images using the Scale commandĬhange the size of a paint object by selecting it and choosing Object | Scale. Stretching an image non-proportionately also stretches the pixels, which can cause unwanted distortion to the image. You can change the size of a paint object by clicking on it with the Selection tool and dragging a selection handle. If you resize, skew, or rotate a paint object, you can restore the original shape and resolution by choosing Effects | Remove Effects. If a photographic image requires higher resolution, try re-scanning the original at a higher resolution, rather than increasing the resolution in Canvas.If an image is too big for a particular layout, consider cropping the image, rather than resizing or scaling it to fit.You can also remove effects via the Undos palette or by using the keyboard command: Ctrl+Z. The best way to avoid image degradation is to avoid changing image size or resolution. Canvas uses interpolation to estimate pixel values when necessary, but this can result in loss of sharpness or detail when large scaling factors are applied. Keep in mind that altering the size or resolution of a paint object can degrade the quality of an image. You can use several methods to resize or scale paint objects and the images they contain.
