Before moving on to your assignment, take a few moment to refresh your memory on what we've learned in this lesson. Spacebar = Hand tool View > New View to view the same image at different magnification. Right click/control click on the title bar for easy access to common document editing functions including Duplicate, Image Size, and Canvas Size. As you increase the print dimensions, your resolution decreases (thus, print quality decreases). As you increase resolution, the print size must decrease based on the amount of pixel data available. If you do not have enough pixel data to get the print size and resolution you need, then you'll have to resample the image. Edit > Undo (Ctrl-Z/Command-Z) Hold down the Alt/Option key in any dialog box and the Cancel button will change to a Reset button which you can then press to restore your original values. Crop Tool = C The Caps Lock key toggles between standard and precise cursors. Shift key constrains movements when dragging selection border. Prevent the crop border from snapping to the edge of your canvas by holding down the Ctrl key (Windows only) or pressing Ctrl-;/Command-;. Use the Fixed Target Size Option of the crop tool for changing image resolution while cropping.
