The images I take with my camera are often much larger than I want and need to be resized for various reasons.  I open AD, then open a photo and I don't see any way to resize it.  There are little X's on the corners and middle of each side where normally there would be little handles.

 

If I open a new document first, then insert an image via the Place Image Tool, then I can resize it but I should not have to open a new image first.

 

So, my question is, how can I resize an image without having to create a new document?

Okay, I'll just follow you guys over here.. :D .

(that will most likely make no sense in a half hour....)

 

MaryLou, your background layer is locked. Click the padlock in the layer stack.

You can set the default to be unlocked in Prefs > User Interface. Probably what you've got set already Mike.

JJ--yes, likely if the Locked Background was a default. I don't remember ever changing from the initial installation of the Windows Beta and I don't know why I would want a locked background as a default in a vector drawing application per se.

One of the first things I do if I have to reset AD is to uncheck that user preference to automatically lock the background layer on import.
