Changing the Resolution of Bitmap Layers
You can change the resolution of bitmap layers to better suit the needs of your project.
How to change the resolution of a bitmap layer
- From the Layers view, select a bitmap layer whose resolution you want to change.
- Do one of the following:
‣ | Right-click the layer and select Change Bitmap Layer. |
‣ | Select Layer > Change Bitmap Layer Resolution. |
The Change Bitmap Layer Resolution dialog box opens. The current project resolution is displayed.
- Adjust the Width, Height, or Resolution Factor. These three parameters are linked; changing one, changes the others.
- Select the Resample Bitmap option to change the resolution of the bitmap layer without changing the area it covers.
NOTE: Resampling an image will degrade it to some extent. Resampling to a lower resolution makes the image blocky and jagged. Resampling to a higher resolution may blur the image.
