Scaling images by using Smart Carver

Smart Carver lets you make an image narrower, wider, shorter, or longer without distorting the content. By automatically detecting and removing image areas that have little structural detail, or by inserting background pixels, this feature lets you change the aspect ratio without noticeably changing the image. You can also specify which image areas are to be preserved or removed, regardless of their level of detail.

Smart Carver lets you selectively remove or protect areas when you scale an image.

You can also scale an image by using the Resample feature. For more information, see Changing image dimensions, resolution, and paper size.
