Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11
SUMMARY
This article describes how to reduce the size of a large image so that the
entire image can be viewed in Paintbrush's default view.
MORE INFORMATION
To reduce the size of an image, follow these steps:
- From the View menu, choose Zoom Out.
- From the Tool menu, choose the Pick tool (scissors and dotted box).
The mouse pointer will change to a cross hair.
- Select the whole image by placing the mouse pointer to the
upper-left corner of the image and dragging the pointer to the
lower-right corner while pressing the left mouse button.
- From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
- From the View menu, choose Zoom In.
- From the Edit menu, choose Paste. The Pick option on the control
bar, previously grayed out, then becomes available.
- From the Pick menu, choose Clear. (Otherwise, if you do not select
the whole image, you could wind up with two images or a partial
image under your selected image.)
- From the Pick menu, choose Shrink And Grow.
- Set the size, shape, and position of the image by placing the mouse
cross hair at the position where you want the upper left corner of
the image to appear and drag the pointer down and to the right
while pressing the left mouse button.
- From the Tool menu, choose the Pick tool.
- Select the shrunken portion of the image.
- From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
- From the File menu, choose New. (When asked "Save Current
Image?", select No.)
- From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
