There are a few ways to resize an image layer in Photoshop. The easiest way is to use the resize command. To resize an image layer, select the layer and press the resize button. The size of the image will be changed according to the following factors: The width of the image. The height of the image. The resolution of the image. Width: The width of the image will be changed according to the width of the file. If you have a large file, then your resizing might not be effective because it would result in too much space being used for your new images. If you have a small file, then your resizing might not be effective because it would result in too little space being used for your new images. Height: The height of the image will be changed according to the height of the file. If you have a large file, then your resizing might not be effective because it would result in too much space being used for your new images. Resolution: The resolution of an image will also be changed according to how high-resolution your computer is able to handle images (i.e., if you are using a lower resolution). A higher resolution will allow you to see more details in your images and may cause them to look better when enlarged or shrunken.
