"Picture" Window

"Picture" Window

Use this window to change the scaling factor that will be used for displaying the selected picture.

You can change the scaling factor in two ways.

  1. Specify the explicit size for the selected picture expressed in the current measurement units (for example, in inches) as it should appear on paper.
    For example, if you want your picture to be 3'' on width and 2'' on height on paper, simply specify 3 and 2 in the Width field and Height field respectively.
  2. Specify the scaling factor (percentage) that should be applied to the original dimensions of your picture (the original size of your picture is always displayed at the bottom of this window).
    For example, if the original size of your picture is 3''x2'', you can enlarge it in two times simply by specifying 200 in both the On Width field and On Height fields.

Note. When you change the scaling factor for your picture, you actually do not change the contents of your picture. So you should not worry that your picture might loss some information after rescaling.
You will be always able to back your image to the original state with the original quality.

Tip:

You can visually scale pictures. For this, select the desired picture (simply click it), capture any corner of the picture with the mouse, and drag the mouse until the required scaling factor is achieved.
