MaryLou Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 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?

MikeW Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hmm. If I just open an image, I get the resize handles and the image has a page the same size as the opened image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 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.

MikeW Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 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.

R C-R Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 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.
