How to resize an image and keep the proportions?

[Erica Bronson]

Hello,

I know this is very easy, but I am seriously stuck with this one. How do I resize images and keep the standard proportions of my images? Now when I change width or height, my image get stretched.

Thanks in advance

hold shift in while you resize with the crop tool

Make sure you select "Constrain proportions" checkbox, before changing width or height. This will keep proportions of your images as they should be.

You can also watch this video. This explains everything in detail and I personally found it very useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXi6Pkc1kQg

If you are talking about the entire image, go into image>size, that is where you will find the "constrain proportions" and this will retain your shape and you only enter one number, either vertical or horizontal.
