Resize A Selection Marquee - Photoshop And Paint Shop Pro Tips
This tip demonstrates how to resize a Selection Marquee.
To begin, from Paint Shop Pro 8, 9, X, XI, X2 X3’s or Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 (Extended’s) left-side Tools Toolbar, activate a Selection Tool of your choice, and drag out a Selection Marquee onto your canvas. Now, Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 (Extended): from the top menu, choose Select then choose Transform Selection. Now, press and keep pressed your Alt Key, and rescale the Selection Marquee by gently tugging one of the outer repositioning handles that are attached to the Transformation Bounding Box - as illustrated below.
(Pressing the Alt Key resizes the Selection Marquee in proportion).
Paint Shop Pro 8, 9, X, XI, X2 Photo: from the top menu, choose Selections then choose Edit Selection. A red (Rubylith) Mask will then fill the Selection Marquee, as illustrated below.
Now, from the left-side Tools Toolbar, activate the Deformation or Pick Tool, depending on your Paint Shop Pro version.
After clicking the Deform or Pick Tool, the red-filled Selection Marquee will be isolated by a large Vector Deformation Bounding Box - as illustrated below.
Note
Ensure the Deform/Pick Tool’s Mode is set to Scale.
Then gently tug one of the tiny vector handles that are attached to the Deformation Bounding Box, and rescale the Selection Marquee, making it larger or smaller, as necessary.
Then from the top menu of Paint Shop Pro: choose Selections then left-click to remove the tick before Edit Selection.
Congratulations, you have successfully rescaled a Selection Marquee.
Best Wishes.
