To resize your work area to meet specific dimensions, you can select Image Size and manually enter width and height values.

Always start with large high-quality images. Only decrease width and height when necessary.

2. In the Image Size dialog box, enter new values in the Width and Height fields. Note: Always matain the origial aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio needs to be changed, use the Crop tool.
