Resize?

[Llew]

Is there a resize function that doesn't resize the whole canvas? I want to select a part of a new layer and shrink it, but I find no way to do it without resizing the whole thing in a new project and pasting it into the one I want it in.

Thanks.

Do you want it cropped? Press Ctrl+Shift+X

I think this is what you're going for:

Select the layer that the part you want to resize is on.

Switch to the Rectangle Select tool ( )

Select the area you want to resize.

Switch to the Move Selected Pixels tool ( )

Click on one of the Nubs on one of the four corners.

Drag inward to shrink the selected portion of the image. Hold [shift] to constrain proportions.

Zoom out...?

Yup, I would go with a zoom, this way you will be able to maintain the aspect ratio.

It stays the same if you hold down shift while you drag. same for making an kind of shapes.
