13.15.5 Change the Size of an Image
To change the default size of an image:
• Do any of the following:
▪ Bitmapped image resources. If the image is a bitmapped image resource you can adjust the pixel
dimensions of the image resource to change the size of the image at a given resolution. Recall
that the default size of a bitmapped image in a picture object depends on the resolution you set
for bitmapped images of that color depth.
▪ External bitmapped images. If the image is a bitmapped image external to the document, you
must adjust the pixel dimensions of the image in an external editor prior to transferring the image
to its runtime location.
▪ Vector or metafile images. If the image is a vector or metafile image you must edit the file in the
appropriate editor to adjust its default size. If the image is an image resource, you can edit it from
within PlanetPress Design. If the image is an external image referenced by a dynamic image, you
must open that image file in an editor outside of PlanetPress Design.
To change the size at which an image appears on the document page:
• Do any of the following:
▪ Resize the picture object that contains the image. The way an image resizes when you resize the
picture object that references it depends on the fit setting you selected in that picture object.
Recall that in the case of bitmapped images, the resize changes the resolution of the image and
thus can affect the quality of that image in the document output. Whether the change in quality is
noticeable depends on the image, its new resolution, and the resolution of the printer on which it
outputs.
▪ Change the fit setting for the image in the picture object. In the case of bitmapped images, all
settings other than Constant resolution can change the resolution of the image, and thus can
affect the quality of that image in the document output. Whether the change in quality is
noticeable depends on the image, its new resolution, and the resolution of the printer on which it
outputs.
▪ Adjust the resolution setting in the Document dialog box (if the image is a bitmapped image and
you selected a Fit setting of Constant resolution). This affects the resolution of all images in the
document, and thus the size at which all of the images appear.
▪ Change the default size of the image (if you selected a Fit setting of Constant resolution). This in
turn changes the size at which it appears on the document page.
