Step 3: Resize your image files

To resize your pictures use one of the available presets from the drop-down list of the Resize panel. To be able to preview the result you achieve switch to the Preview mode clicking the corresponding button of the Toolbar.

If you need to fit your images to a particular size select the Custom option from the drop-down list. The Additonal Resize Options panel will open. Set the necessary Height and Width values using the keyboard.

To avoid the loss of some image areas make sure that the Keep original proportion option is checked. Your images will be resized without any distortion or image areas loss. However in this case the image dimensions may be less than the specified ones because the value of one side will be set automatically to keep the image aspect.

To exactly fit your images to a particular size check the Use stripes box in the Resize panel and select the necessary Color. The stripes of the selected color will be added to your images to reach the exact dimensions.

Use the Navigation Panel below the Preview Area to navigate between all the imported images and preview them.

If the Keep original proportion option is unchecked some image areas will be lost. Below you can see the image resized when the Keep original proportion option is unchecked:
