Reducing that image to 5 inches x 5 inches, it would remain at 100 dpi, and would be 500 pixels x 500 pixels, or only 250,000 total pixels. For example:Īn image that is 10 inches x 10 inches at 100 dpi would be 1,000 pixels x 1,000 pixels, or 1,000,000 total pixels. The DPI (dots per inch) doesn't change when you resize an image. I do not think just shrinking the document should change the number of pixels, just the DPI. Left out a step and realized I'd posted the wrong shortcut for the Arrange menu. *Additional Info* If I mouse to use the Arrange menu instead of using the Alt+A shortcut, the Tools shortcuts remain active. So maybe it's something I'm doing, but I don't understand why this kills them. The Tools shortcuts are dead at this point. If I want to use any other Tools at this point, I can't get to them via a shortcut. No idea why.)Ĭtrl+V to paste the copied layer into the fileĪlt+A for the Arrange menu, choose "Align Center"Īlt+A for the Arrange menu, choose "Align Middle" (I'm not using "New form clipboard" because even though the object is roughly 5 x 5 inches, I instead end up with a file that's 16 x 16 inches. It defaults to the same preset I've been using (just a blank of a specific size, 6 x 6 inches), so I just hit ENTER to confirm and the new file opens. Here's how I'm doing that:Ĭtrl+N to start a new file. Okay, I've found something more specific: I'm copying a single layer from one file, and pasting into a new file, after which I need to adjust the object's position, then save it as a new file.
