Urnemanden Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hello, I am doing a lot of Re-sizing when I take screenshots, but as I have a widescreen here, my screenshots is too wide. So I have to create a selection and drag the nubs to hit 800x800, so I then is able to re-size my picture down to 256x256. Sometimes I am having trouble getting a 800x800 selection exactly, so I was wondering if there were any shortcut key for adjusting the size of the selection exactly? Thanks Quote About - Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 While using the Move Selection tool ( ), you can use the arrow keys to move you selection 1 pixel at a time. Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urnemanden Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't want to Move the selection using shortcut keys, I want to know how to adjust the size using shortcut keys... Quote About - Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sorry, I kinda mislead you there. If you click and hold one of the nubs, you can use the arrow keys to change it's size. :wink: Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urnemanden Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yes of course, but it will take some time if to press my way down to 800x800 from 1280x800 don't you think? Quote About - Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 why don't you just using the rectangle selection tool set to fixed size? then you can just type how big you want the selection to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yes of course, but it will take some time if to press my way down to 800x800 from 1280x800 don't you think? Ctrl + Arrow Key does 10 pixel steps. Also, if you hold the arrow key down or keep pressing it quickly, it will increase the step size automatically.
