Resizing Images

  You can modify the proportions of selected images.

  To scale an image:

  1.  Use the Box or the Scissors to select the image you want
      to modify.

  2.  Choose Scale...  from the Edit menu.

      Paint displays the Scale dialog box.

  3.  For both the x scale and the y scale, click on one of
      the percent buttons to change the scale.  For example,
      clicking on 25% reduces the selected area to one-fourth
      the original size, while clicking on 200% makes it twice as
      large as the original.
      To specify your own percentages, enter a number less
      than 100 to shrink the figure or a number greater than
      100 to expand the figure.

  To scale your entire picture, choose Scale Window from the

  Edit menu.  You cannot undo this operation.

  Often, you want to keep only a portion of the picture, and you
  want to discard the rest of the canvas.  Use the Crop menu
  item to extract a portion of a picture.

  To crop a picture:

  1.  Use the Box or the Scissors to select the section of the
      picture you want to keep.

  2.  Choose Crop from the Edit menu.

      Paint repositions the cropped picture in the upper left
      corner of the window and discards the rest of the picture.

      To restore the original picture, choose Undo Crop from
      the Edit menu.
