Excuse me for the newbie question. Is there a way to simply scale down an image to a certain percentage? I just switched from GIMP, and after designing certain images that I have to make regularly, I also need to make a mini version at 18% of the size. Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to do the math outside the program, figure out what 18% is, and then scale it to the right pixel count? Tell me it ain't so..

Here's how it looks in GIMP, so that you know what I'm looking for:

Use Document > Resize then, in either the width or height box, enter 18%. Ensure that the lock symbol is closed (which it is by default) to maintain the Aspect Ratio..

There is no dropdown selection for Percentages but you can just enter the percentage value in the "Size" field(s)

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

I can't thank you enough. This is perfect. It's exactly what I needed. I can't tell you how happy I am.
