How to resize picture proportionately So easy to do...

You want to put some pictures into a document but they are too big. You know that you can resize them but how do they ‘keep their shape’? To resize a picture you should see the ‘handles’. They appear, for instance, when you click on an image in MS Word.

You can put your cursor on a handle and push or pull vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

When you pull a handle horizontally the picture gets distorted (and the world is suddenly oval)…

Or, when you pull a handle vertically, the picture gets distorted (and the world is suddenly egg-shaped)…

But, when you drag a corner handle and put your finger on the Shift key on your keyboard at the same time, the image resizes proportionately. Make it bigger (see the pitfalls of that in the previous post)…

Or make it smaller. It’s not rocket science.
