Rotate canvas
Resizing
Change the size of the
canvas, image, or document.
Resize the canvas
Make more room for sketching
by increasing the canvas size.
Resizing the canvas
- Select Image > Canvas Size.
The Canvas
Size window appears. It shows the current pixel size
and memory size in the top panel.
- Type in the new sizes for the canvas.
NoteTyping
larger values increase your room for sketching. Typing smaller values crops
the existing image.
The default units are pixels, but you can change
them to inches, cm, or mm. Or, specify a percentage change.
The Memory field
updates to reflect the memory size required for the new size.
- Click the Anchor interface
to specify how to resize the canvas. For example:
|
|
|
Expands equally from every edge. |
|
Expands up and to the right. |
|
Expands up, down, and to the left. |
- Click OK or
press the Enter key.
Resize the image
Change the size of the
image, its resolution, or the document size.
Image size is the size of the image in
pixels.
This size directly affects the memory size in
a squared relationship, quadrupling the memory size if you double
the pixel size. Increasing the image size four times increases the memory
size 16 times. Because of memory requirements, there is a 6400x6400-pixel upper
limit on image size.
Changing image size
by a percentage
- Select Image > Image Size to
use the Image Size window.
- Check Keep proportions on.
- In either the Pixel Dimensions or
the Document Size section,
change the pull-down units to percent.
- Type in a new value.
For example, type “200”
to double the image size, or “50” to half the image size.
All other values update
automatically, including the memory size.
- Click OK or
press the Enter key.
Change the resolution
Resolution is the number of pixels
per inch or per cm. Leaving the document size the same increases
the quality of the image and resolution; however, the memory size
also increases.
To change the resolution
(and keep the document size the same):
Changing resolution
(and keeping document size the same)
- Select Image > Image Size to
use the Image Size window.
- In the Document Size section,
leave the pull-down units at inches (or cm or mm).
- Type in a new value in the Resolution field.
The document size stays the same, but the new
resolution value changes the pixel size (and the memory size).
- Click OK or
press the Enter key.
Change the document size
The document size is the size of the image in inches,
mm, or cm. Images saved out from Autodesk SketchBook Pro print out
at that size in Adobe® Photoshop® or other publishing
programs.
Changing document size
(and keeping pixel size the same)
- Select Image > Image Size to
use the Image Size window.
- Check Keep proportions on.
- In the Document Size section,
change the pull-down units to percent.
Keep the height and width
at 100 percent.
- Specify a new value in the Resolution field.
The image size (and the memory size) stays the
same, but the new resolution value changes the document size.
- Click OK or
press the Enter key.
Fitting a resized image
onto the screen
Flick toward this icon
or:
- for Mac press Cmd+0
- for PC press Ctrl+0 (zero)
to expand the image or
reduce it to fill the screen.
Image Size window settings
In
the Image Size window, all values
update concurrently as you enter new values.
- Pixel Dimensions
-
The
top section of the window shows the pixel dimensions of the image.
The drop-down menus let
you change the dimensions using a percentage instead of pixels.
This section also shows the memory size of the image in MB (this
size updates automatically whenever you resize the image).
- Document Size
-
The bottom section of
the window lets you set the document size.
The default units are
inches, but you can change them to cm, mm, pixels, or percent. In
this section, you can also set the print resolution in either pixels/inch
(ppi), pixels/cm, or pixels/mm.
- Keep proportions
-
This
setting is selected by default, to prevent image distortion. De-select
it to change one dimension only, leaving the other dimension unchanged.
