Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9 - Resizing a photo

[Guest]

I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right place but am hopeful that someone
can help... How do you "resize" (make it bigger for example) a picture in
Digital Image Pro? I used to use Picture It and as I recall you simply
selected the picture and then dragged it into a bigger size. Now in Digital
Image Pro, I see there is a "resize picture" tool but for the life of me I
can't figure out how the darn thing works. I have found that through the
"crop canvas" tool that I can select the entire picture and then enlarge it
to some extent by dragging, but not fully. Where this is a particular
problem is when I scan a picture into Digital Image. It comes in small on the
canvas and then I have no way of enlarging it to cover the canvas fully.
Anybody help. Thank you very much...

Resizing an image in DIP9 is accomplished
by going to...Format / Resize Image...enter
the new size / Done.

When scanning you could try the following...

Most scanners have an advanced mode
where you can see a preview of the scan
and make various adjustments to scan
quality. In this mode you should be able
to left click / drag a selection box around
the portion of the image you wish to scan.

In Digital Image Pro...with my Epson I
go to...File / Import Pictures / Epson
Twain 5 / My Scanner Software / Scan.

Also there should be an option to set
the size of the finished scan. Entering a
large size like 8x12 or something similar
will prevent you from having to greatly
enlarge the finished scan an lose all your
resolution.
