Resize picture frame not picture


Recommended Posts

Does this feature already exist (and I can't find it)? Is it possible to resize a picture's frame without the picture itself (like in InDesign where you can manipulate the picture frame or separately move and size the picture within the frame)

Hi @appaulmac,

  • select the picture frame with the Move Tool (V)
  • Make sure the picture frame's properties is set to 'None'. You find it on the toolbar. You also can set an anchor point.
  • On the very right of the toolbar you find an option 'Lock Children'. Enable it.

Now you can resize the picture frame without resizing the picture itself :)

You're a star Dominik. I'd done all that except change the anchor point! Thank you very much
